The God Problem
Alternatives to Fundamentalism Nigel Leaves  What The twenty-first century has witnessed a dangerous shift in focus about belief (or non-belief) in God. God is
not to be debated but defended at all costs. in short, God has become a problem. How then might we return to a reasoned debate about God's existence? In this book,
Nigel Leaves evaluates four ways of addressing the "God problem" — panentheism, non-realism, grassroots spirituality, and religious naturalism. These are the current
responses to the increasing difficulty of God-talk in the context of the latest critical and scientific thinking. Leaves provides an excellent
point of departure and a resource for a discussion on how we may speak of God today.
"Engaging, insightful and illuminating." —
