Description
What Is God? by Jacob Needleman is an intimate exploration of humanity's most vital question. A religious scholar and philosopher, Needleman offers a new way of approaching the concept of a higher power.
The author draws on his own experiences to illustrate how our present confusion about the purpose of religion and the nature of God reflects a deeper psychological need for a specific quality of thought and experience. He shows how this inner experience is not unique to believers, but is shared by atheists alike.
Through rich and vivid examples, Needleman describes this inner experience and its intentional cultivation as necessary for the fullness of our existence. This book invites readers to consider their own understanding of God and the role of religion in their lives.
