神とは何か、そして誰のことなのでしょうか。異なる宗教はその存在をどのように解釈していて、私たちはどのように神を知ることができるのでしょうか。何を、また誰を信じるのかというこの問いへの答えはしばしば対立を生み出してきました。哲学者、詩人、神学者の答えを通して、なぜある人は神を信じ、またある人は神を信じないのか考察します。代表的な宗教がどのように神を捉え、信じるかを探り、神の解釈とは変化し続けるものであると論じます。(cf. Theology, #009)
   

  • Explores how theologians and philosophers have tried to answer some of the key questions about God
  • Considers why some people believe in a God and others do not
  • Looks at a variety of different religious interpretations
  • Considers what belief in God means for religious life in practice

   
Who or what is God? How do different religions interpret God's existence? How can we know God? 

Many people believe in God; not just throughout history but also in the present day. But who or what is it they believe in? Many different and sometimes conflicting answers have been suggested to this question. This Very Short Introduction explores some of the answers provided by philosophers, poets, and theologians, and considers why some people believe in God and others do not.

John Bowker explores how the major religions established their own distinctive beliefs about God and how they interpret God's existence, and concludes by looking at how our understanding of God continues to evolve.
