Hegel's philosophy of religion is a philosophical theology in which God is conceived as a
movement of inclusive divine subjectivity - ultimately God inclusive of the world. For Hegel
this inclusive divine subjectivity took the form of a movement of conceptual thought. In an
effort to work with Hegel while going beyond him Experience and Spirit presents God as a
movement of inclusive divine subjectivity however that movement is understood to be not one
of thought but of enriching experience and thus of spirit. This argument in favor of a
renewed understanding of Hegel's true infinite proceeds in three major steps: first a
consideration of Hegel's own problematic proposal second the elaboration of a fuller and more
contemporary notion of experience and third three constructive phenomenological and
philosophical reflections on basic questions in philosophical theology namely the experience
of God speaking about God and the notions of evil freedom and mystery. In the end
Experience and Spirit proposes a philosophy of generosity both human and divine.
