Synopsis

This books shows how modern and recent philosophers have gone beyond showing that the metaphysical god is dead by developing projects that locate theism's God in the very moods, attitudes, commitments, and ways of life of worshipers of God that give to these worshippers and their God the identity of both. The overall projects, and the place of "God talk" in them, of twelve philosophers are studied: Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, James, Kierkegaard, Levinas, Derrida, Zizek, Caputo, Marion, and Kearney. Their positions are critically examined so that the reader can understand how each thinkers reflections can be integrated into a overall coherent perspective. This book is written for philosophers and clergy, students and serious thinkers who want to get beyond locating God in some supernatural realm and beyond atheism and agnosticism. This book is for critically minded worshippers who find God living in their hearts.
