In this passionate and searching book, Anthony Kronman offers a third way dash;beyond atheism and religiontdash;to the God of the modern world
 tdquo;An astonishing, . . . epically ambitious book. . . . An intellectual adventure story based on the notion that ideas drive history, and that to dedicate yourself to them is to live a bigger, more intense life.rdquo;idash;David Brooks, New York Times
We live in an age of disenchantment. The number of self-professed dquo;atheistsndquo; continues to grow. Yet many still feel an intense spiritual longing for a connection to what Aristotle called the sdquo;eternal and divine.,dquo; For those who do, but demand a God that is compatible with their modern ideals, a new theology is required. This is what Anthony Kronman offers here, in a book that leads its readers away from the inscrutable Creator of the Abrahamic religions toward a God whose inexhaustible and everlasting presence is that of the world itself. Kronman defends an ancient conception of God, deepened and transformed by Christian beliefMdash;the born-again paganism on which modern science, art, and politics all vitally depend. Brilliantly surveying centuries of Western thought dash;from Plato to Augustine, Aquinas, and Kant, from Spinoza to Nietzsche, Darwin, and Freudidash;Kronman recovers and reclaims the God we need today.
