Finite Transcendence: Existential Exile and the Myth of Home argues the universality of the realization of finitude in the experience of exile, positing “faith” and “exile” as fundamental constitutive components of what it means to be human. The book discusses essential elements of each, culminating in a compelling account of “existential exile” as a definitive name for the human experience of finitude.
