Beskrivning
In a consumer-driven and technologized world, can we still experience the mystery of God? This book answers yes by exploring the rich resources of the Christian tradition of thinking and speaking about God. Focusing on God’s dialectical character—divine availability (“presence”) and divine excess (“absence”)—and the belief that “God is love” (1 John 4:16), professor Anthony J. Godzieba tracks how God became a problem in Western culture, then responds by showing how human experience is open to divine transcendence and how that openness encounters the revelation of God as Trinity. The book’s contemporary edge comes from its insistence that belief as embodied performance is the most authentic way to participate in the mystery of God’s love, which is “the answer to the mystery of the world and human beings” (Walter Kasper).

Recensioner i media

"Clear, very well informed, and admirably argued, this book shows how, after all the changes in Western thought, we are still justified in holding that God is simultaneously present (available and knowable) and absent (mysterious and uncontrollable). God's love answers the deepest human longings. This work is a splendid example of authentic natural theology."Gerald O'Collins, SJ, Jesuit Theological College, Australia"Highly recommended for graduate classes on God and theologians wanting a refreshing and rather comprehensive exploration of territory mapped all too flatly in much modern theology."Horizons"A recapitulation of the work of a lifetime in academic theology."Catholic Book Review"An excellent, clearly written book. Godzieba reapplies traditional Christian thought on the knowledge of God to the contemporary debates on the presence and absence of God in a creative and engaging manner. The book is interesting both for more advanced scholars working on fundamental theology and the doctrine of God, and for teaching purposes, since it combines a lucid discussion of many traditional and contemporary theologians on knowledge of God with an interesting own argument."Louvain Studies
