Description
God the Problem by Gordon D. Kaufman explores one of the most significant issues in modern religious discourse: whether it is possible to believe in God. This thought-provoking study examines why God can be a problem for many people, and how the concept of God has developed in Western culture. Kaufman's work delves into the inner logic of the notion of God, investigating how the idea of God is generated in human experience and the special problems it raises. He explores topics such as the intelligibility of transcendence and the problem of theodicy, without attempting to prove or disprove God's existence. Instead, Kaufman seeks to understand what the concept of God means and the important human needs it fulfills. Through eleven essays, including some previously published work, Kaufman sheds light on the significance of talk about God in modern life. This book is a valuable contribution to the discussion of faith and its role in contemporary society.
