Craig Burrell has written such an insightful and extensive review of David Bentley Hart's The Experience of God that I'm half-tempted to write a review of the review. But instead I'll just provide you with the link and recommend strongly that you read it for yourself.
I bought the book a couple of months ago, in a spell of eyes-bigger-than-stomach book-buying, but I'm not sure when I'm going to get to it. The review makes me want to move it up higher on my list.

And by the way: I have been wrestling with how to review a book of the same genus, if not species, as Hart's: Stratford Caldecott's The Radiance of Being. The struggle comes, as it has done in similar cases, because I feel rather out of my intellectual depth in much of the book. In the midst of this I learned a few days ago that Mr. Caldecott is suffering from prostate cancer and is not expected to live a great deal longer. And a rather touching thing has happened: he is apparently a big fan of superhero comics and movies, and somehow his family has managed to contact various people involved in those productions, and they've responded in very kind ways. I trust we will all pray for him and his family.
