Description
The Experience of God Being, Consciousness, Bliss by David Bentley Hart David Bentley Hart explores the concept of God in the world's great theistic faiths, clarifying how the word "God" functions in these traditions. He examines how these intellectual traditions treat humanity's knowledge of the divine mysteries, ranging across Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Vedantic and Bhaktic Hinduism, Sikhism, and Buddhism. Hart's argument is built around three principal metaphysical "moments": being, consciousness, and bliss. He demonstrates an essential continuity between our fundamental experience of reality and the ultimate reality to which that experience inevitably points. By dismissing simplistic misconceptions and exploring the depths of humanity's experience of the world, Hart provides a nuanced understanding of the divine. This book offers a powerful and poetic exploration of the nature of God, one that captures the beauty and complexity of traditional reflection upon the divine.
