The Problem of God

Bol

A fascinating exploration of religious belief as the key to understanding ourselves and other people, societies, and cultures When we explore the problem of God, we are exploring issues that force us to dig down into the very foundation of who we are, why we are who we are, and why we believe what we believe. Does God exist? What do we mean by "God"? Why believe? The Problem of God explores the challenges of religious belief and spirituality through the lenses of both historical and contemporary sources from religious traditions around the globe, including the Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Confucian, and Daoist traditions. This book engages with the fundamental concerns of belief in God, including the existence of God, the nature of God, different forms of theism and alternatives to theism, warranted belief, and the challenges posed by the problem of evil, pain and suffering, modern science, atheism, and religious pluralism. Cline invites readers to consider different religious beliefs through compelling stories that foster an understanding of human actions and motivations throughout history. The curious and the spiritually hungry will benefit from discovering that there is not one problem of God but many, and that understanding the spiritual dimension of human life holds the key to better understanding ourselves and one another.
