Pressezitat
'This is a marvelous book. Gleeson's suggestion that it is God's love, not His moral goodness, that should occupy central place in our thinking gives to the problem of evil a shape radically different from that familiar in contemporary philosophy of religion. But the significance of the book reaches well beyond these issues: for Gleeson's approach challenges the conventional distinction between an intellectual and an 'existential' enquiry between the philosopher and the human being that will be of interest to any philosopher who is seriously concerned about the character of his or her work.' - David Cockburn, University of Wales Trinity Saint David's, UK'This is a very readable, sensitive and thorough rethinking, incisively critical of recent work in theodicy and of over-anthropomorphic conceptions of God. Gleeson's account of God as love itself - as disclosed from an existential rather than an impersonal, objectifying, perspective - is a movingly insightful interpretation of the logic of Christian faith. Philosophers of religion will be prompted by Gleeson's work to pay increased attention, in the continuing debates over God's existence, to exactly what it is that is at stake!' - John Bishop,University of Auckland, New Zealand
