Reflections on God and the Death of God e-bog

What is God?  What does it mean to believe in God?  What happens to God after the death of God? This book examines "e;the death of God"e; from a philosophical standpoint. It focuses on monotheism, polytheism, and nature, and it discusses the renewed importance of spirituality-and the "e;spiritual but not religious"e;-in response to the death of God. In recent years, religious belief has been in decline, but secularism cannot satisfy our spiritual needs.  We are now living in a "e;post-secular"e; age in which the relationship between philosophy, spirituality, and religion must be re-examined. As an exploratory essay, this book engages the reader at a profound level, and considers a variety of modern thinkers, including Nietzsche, Hegel, Freud, Levinas, Assmann, and Buber.  It offers a sustained meditation on the origin of God, the death of God, and the future of "e;God"e; as a guiding ideal.
