What is the question to which God might be the answer?
You can argue about God forever, and not change your mind. Believers and non-believers often talk at cross purposes, both failing to grasp what is really going on when we argue about God. So where do we go when the facts run out? Philosophy.
Braiding the thought of the Stoics, Spinoza, Kant and other leading philosophers together with meditations on religious experience, Christopher Insole takes us beyond the limits of reason to a place where we might find empathy and reverence for our fellow persons, all trying to get by. God might be the answer to a yearning for justice, or harmony, significance or freedom. Or God might be the answer to the shadows where our intellect cannot go. In these arguments about God, we might understand ourselves and others better, as the vulnerable, mortal creatures we are.
