The most discussed and most significant issue on the religious
scene today is whether it is possible, or even desirable, to
believe in God. Mr. Kaufman's valuable study does not offer a
doctrine of God, but instead explores why God is a problem for many
moderns, the dimensions of that problem, and the inner logic of the
notion of God as it has developed in Western culture.
His object is to determine the function or significance of talk
about God: how the concept of God is generated in human experience;
the special problems in turn generated by this concept (for
example, the intelligibility of the idea of transcendence, the
problem of theodicy) and how they are met; and under what
circumstances the idea of God is credible or important or even
indispensable. He does not try to prove God's existence or
nonexistence, but elucidates what the concept of God means and the
important human needs it fulfills.
Four of the eleven essays have been previously published, at
