Annotation

This article summarizes Weil’s concepts of decreation and malheur (affliction), taken primarily from Gateway to God and Gravity and Grace as well as a handful of secondary sources. The author briefly argues at the end of the article that although she was never baptized, these concepts show Weil was a Christian.
