We must all some day confront them, and we continually face their implications long before we do. In that sense, the Garden of Gethsemane is not merely a garden \"outside the walls\" of Jerusalem but also the essential horizon for all of us, whether we are believers or not.\u003cbr\u003e Emmanuel Falque explores, with no small measure of doubt, Heidegger's famous statement that by virtue of Christianity's claims of salvation and the afterlife, its believers cannot authentically experience anxiety in the face of death. In this theological development of the Passion, already widely debated upon its publication in French, Falque places a radical emphasis on the physicality and corporeality of Christ's suffering and death, marking the continuities between Christ's Passion and our own orientation to the mortality of our bodies. Beginning with an elaborate reading of the divine and human bodies whose suffering is masterfully depicted in the Isenheim Altarpiece, and written in the wake of the death of a close friend, Falques's study is both theologically rigorous and marked by deeply human concerns.\u003cbr\u003e Falque is at unusual pains to elaborate the question of death in terms not merely of faith, but of a \"credible Christianity\" that remains meaningful to non-Christians, holding, with Maurice Blondel, that \"the important thing is not to address believers but to say something which counts in the eyes of unbelievers.\" His account is therefore as much a work of philosophy as of theology—and of philosophy explicated not through abstractions but through familiar and ordinary experience. Theology's task, for Falque, is to understand that human problems of the meaning of existence apply even to Christ, at least insofar as he lives in and shares our finitude. In Falque's remarkable account, Christ takes upon himself the burden of suffering finitude, so that he can undertake a passage through it, or a transformation of it.\u003cbr\u003e This book, a key text from one the most remarkable of a younger generation of philosophers and theologians, will be widely read and debated by all who hold that theology and philosophy has the most to offer when it eschews easy answers and takes seriously our most anguishing human experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTranslator's Note\u003c\/b\u003e xiii\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePreface to the English-Language \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdition\u003c\/b\u003e xv\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eOpening\u003c\/b\u003e: The Isenheim Altarpiece or \"The Taking on Board of Suffering\" xvii\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: Shifting Understandings of Anxiety 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePART I: THE FACE-TO-FACE OF FINITUDE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e From the Burden of Death to Flight before Death 7\u003cbr\u003e §1 The Burden of Death, 7 ■ §2 Fleeing from Death, 8\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Face of Death or Anxiety over Finitude 10\u003cbr\u003e §3 Death \"for Us\" Humans, 10 ■ §4 Genesis and Its\u003cbr\u003e Symbolism, 11 ■ §5 The Mask of Perfection, 12 ■ §6 The Image\u003cbr\u003e of Finitude in Man, 13 ■ §7 Finitude: Finite and Infinite, 16 ■\u003cbr\u003e §8 Finitude and Anxiety, 16 ■ §9 The Eclipse of Finitude, 17 ■\u003cbr\u003e §10 The Face of Death, 18 ■ §11 To Die \"with,\" 19\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Temptation of Despair or Anxiety over Sin 22\u003cbr\u003e §13 Inevitable Death, 22 ■ §14 The Conquest of Sin, 22 ■\u003cbr\u003e §15 Sin and Anxiety, 23 ■ §16 The Temptation of Despair, 24\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4 \u003c\/b\u003eFrom the Affirmation of Meaninglessness to the Suspension of Meaning 26\u003cbr\u003e §17 The Life Sentence, 26 ■ §18 The Christian Witness, 27 ■\u003cbr\u003e §19 Meaninglessness and the Suspension of Meaning, 27\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePART II: CHRIST FACED WITH ANXIETY OVER DEATH\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e §20 Two Meditations on Death, 29 ■ §21 Alarm and\u003cbr\u003e Anxiety, 31\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Fear of Dying and Christ's \"Alarm\" 33\u003cbr\u003e §22 Taking on Fear and Abandonment, 33 ■ §23 The Cup,\u003cbr\u003e Sadness, and Sleep, 34 ■ §24 Resignation, Waiting, and\u003cbr\u003e Heroism, 35 ■ §25 The Silence at the End, 36 ■\u003cbr\u003e §26 The Scenarios of Death, 37 ■ §27 The Triple\u003cbr\u003e Failure of the Staging, 38 ■ §28 From Alarm to Anxiety, 39\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e6 \u003c\/b\u003eGod's Vigil 41\u003cbr\u003e §29 Remaining Always Awake, 41 ■ §30 The Passage of Death,\u003cbr\u003e the Present of the Passion, the Future of the Resurrection, 42 ■\u003cbr\u003e §31 Theological Actuality and Phenomenological Possibility, 43\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e7 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Narrow Road of Anxiety 45\u003cbr\u003e §32 Indefiniteness, Reduction to Nothing, and Isolation, 45 ■\u003cbr\u003e §33 The Strait Gate, 46 ■ §34 Anxiety over \"Simply Death,\" 47 ■\u003cbr\u003e §35 Indefiniteness (Putting off the Cup) and the Powerless Power\u003cbr\u003e of God, 47 ■ §36 Reduction to Nothing and Kenosis, 52 ■\u003cbr\u003e §37 The Isolation of Humankind and Communion with the\u003cbr\u003e Father, 54 ■ §38 Of Anxiety Endured on the Horizon of Death, 55\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e8 \u003c\/b\u003eDeath and Its Possibilities 57\u003cbr\u003e §39 Manner of Living, Possibility of the Impossibility, and Death\u003cbr\u003e as \"Mineness,\" 57 ■ §40 Being Vigilant at Gethsemane, 59 ■\u003cbr\u003e §41 From the Actuality of the Corpse to Possibilities for\u003cbr\u003e the Living, 60 ■ §42 The Death That Is Always His: Suffering in\u003cbr\u003e God;
