Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This eloquent new book of philosophical theology challenges and aims to remedy the underlying assumption of both believers and atheists that their arguments depend on proof that God either exists or doesnt exist. It is a controversy conducted in misleading terms as if atheists believed in all the things that exist in the universe, and theists also believed in all those beings but also believed in one additional being which they call God.A much more useful enquiry about God, suggests Gilbert Markus, is Why does anything exist, rather than nothing? If God created everything that exists, according to a very ancient tradition, God cannot be one of the things that exist. God is no thing. Or Nothing.In God as Nothing, Markus traces the history of this idea through the long development of the Jewish and Christian philosophical and literary tradition. He identifies it in the Bible, in the thought of Augustine, Aquinas and Eckhart, and in the poetry of R.S. Thomas and Paul Celan. He explores its significance in relation to Hegel, Feuerbach and Marx. In the second part of the book, he shines the single white light of the idea through various prisms, to help all of us divine further enlightenment in the refractions that emerge. God as Nothing challenges the underlying assumption of both believers and atheists that their arguments depend on proof that God either exists or that God doesnt exist. Gilbert Markus demonstrates a long tradition in Jewish and Christian writings of viewing God not as a particular entity, but as the mystery which underlies all that exists.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. "Gilbert Markus's riveting little book on the nothingness of God simultaneously allures, teases, and destabilises the reader into a profoundly 'apophatic' understanding of what it means to accept God as creator and source of all being. In the spirit of his revered teacher Herbert McCabe, OP, but as yet further radicalised through Markus s own particular Wittgensteinian rendition of Aquinas, it is concluded that there is nothing whatever that we can know or say about God in Godself. Our job is to live the life enjoined on us by the prophets and Jesus, and leave behind the misguided attempt to establish God s existence as a riposte to atheism. Intentionally provocative in its creative new exposition of the Christian tradition, this book will provoke much stimulus for debate in schools, colleges and churches." (Sarah Coakley, Norris-Hulse Professor emerita, University of Cambridge) "Márkus has an engaging way with words and a playful approach to how language works towards God as Nothing . This is analytic theology at its most accessible." (Bishop John Saxbee, 'Church Times').…
