God: An Open Question


Add your own review!

Overview

The question of God is the basis of all theology, although this does not coincide with faith or piety. The title of this book may therefore be seen as a personal plea; it is impossible to talk about God without defining one's own position.

Reviews

I commend this work to you as a disquieting beginning to rethinking God for our own existence in post-modernity and for our reasonable discourse with others in the new age. <br> The Living Church, June 9, 2002<br>


With a focus on the issue of truth, the author rejects any metaphysic of this world and another world, while accepting a real experience of transcendence. There are insights here which are lacking in Anglo-American discussion of God talk. --Edward Schillebeeckx
