His insistence on the profound connection between the spirit and being underlies his ambitious project of resurrecting metaphysical thought in the modern day by rescuing it from the abstractions of the scientific understanding. This first English translation of any of Forest's books introduces a Christian philosopher of great significance and originality to the anglophone intellectual world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBruce K.
