Contemplation on the Relation between Phenomenology and Philosophy of Religion

This article reflects the phenomenological attitude of the early Heidegger to the Christian faith. It reveals that how Heidegger starts a serious and disputable challenge by inviting philosophers to an unconditional pursuit of the question of being (by departing from the the existential, divine and logical metaphysics). Yet this departing from the issue of God, provides another space for a discourse of a form of philosophical contemplation on the quiddity of religion, and discussing on God (philosophy of religion in its phenomenological style). Thus, it has been emerged prominently in the Heidegger's lectures on "Phenomenology of Religious Life" (1920). However, the claim of the article is that the theological principles and fundamentals of the phenomenological analysis of Heidegger, which dismisses the repetitive claim of Heidegger on incompatibility of Christian faith with philosophical research.
