Overview

This text presents an argument for a God free of all categories of ""being"". Taking a characteristically postmodern stance, the author challenges one of the fundamental premises of both metaphysics and neo-Thomist theology: that God, before all else, must be. Rather, he locates a ""God without being"" in the realm of agape, of Christian charity or love. This volume, translated into English, seeks to offer a contemporary perspective on and stimulate thought about the nature of God.
