What Is God?: How to Think about the Divine

The author suggests five ways of thinking realistically about God by reflecting on profound human experience of depth, future, freedom, beauty, and truth. In these ways, all humanity daily confronts mystery. Each of these transcendent experiences is open to critical reflection and analysis, and will start our journey toward attempting to answer the question, What is God?
