Description

From Plato to Wittgenstein and religions from Judaism to the Hindu tradition, interspersed with divine influences from Classical Greece, Romantic poetry, and the occasional scene from Alien , ‘God: A Guide for the Perplexed’ charts the path of humanity s great spiritual odyssey: the search for God.

Leading the way through this minefield is acclaimed philosopher-theologian Keith Ward, blending the sublime and the eclectic in a narrative which offers wit, erudition and moments of genuine pathos. As a survey of the different manifestations of God through the centuries, and an examination of humanity s search for the divine, this is an engaging and informative book. As a deeply moving testament to our endless capacity for spiritual hope, it is compulsive reading for anyone interested in, or embarking on, the great quest for meaning. ‘A lively and very clearly written discussion summarizing and criticizing the thoughts of many significant thinkers.’
Times Literary Supplement

‘Wry but delightfully non-ironic, intelligent and clear, this book is a blessing. ‘
Publishers Weekly

‘Highly informed, witty and immensely accessible. One of the most congenial, lively and informative introductions to this field.’
Alister McGrath, Professor of Historical Theology, Oxford University
