| Summary: | What to Believe is an engaging introduction to radical theology for spiritual seekers, "Nones," and others outside the academy as well as students in philosophy, religion and theology departments who are curious about what religion can mean today, sixty years after the revolutionary "death of God" movement. Radical theology is post-theism, atheism about theism. Rather than a personal God, we personify God. We give a name to sense of meaning that we cannot name as an act of imagination, a reflection of an idea that is not supernatural but resonant within human consciousness and the world at large and available through works of art or scientific encounters. It negates typical binaries like religious and secular, theist and atheist, faithful and rational. For Caputo, God is not a question about the existence of a being but rather a question about the worth of the world. |
