| Summary |
"Modern women and men have seen Nietzsche's proclamation of the death of God as a great liberation. Yet the death of old beliefs can cause us to feel that the world has grown colder." "In this book James Byrne explores how we can think creatively about God again. By engaging with philosophers such as Kierkegaard, Sartre and Nietzsche, as well as contemporaries as varied as the Dalai Lama and the late British journalist John Diamond, Byrne invites us to abandon naive ideas about God and to think of God as something more than the idol of the church, philosophers and theologians."--Jacket. |
