Does God exist? The question implies another: Who is God? This book is meant to give an answer to both questions and to give reasons for this answer. Does God exist? Yes or no? Many are at a loss between belief and unbelief; they are undecided, skeptical. They are doubtful about their belief, but they are also doubtful about their doubting. There are still others who are proud of their doubting. Yet there remains a longing for certainty. Certainty? Whether Christians or Jews, believers in God or atheists, the discussion today runs right across old denominations and new ideologies - but the longing for certainty is unquenched. Does God exist? We are putting all our cards on the table here. The answer will be "Yes, God exists," As human beings in the twentieth century, we certainly can reasonably believe in God - even more so in the Christian God - and perhaps even more easily today than a few decades or centuries ago. For, after so many crises, it is surprising how much has been clarified and how many difficulties in regard to belief in God have melted into the Light that no darkness has overcome.
Does God exist, and if so, what is the nature of that existence in the context of modern skepticism? Hans Küng, a prominent theologian, addresses the pervasive uncertainty of the twentieth century by arguing that belief in God remains a rational and viable position. He synthesizes historical, philosophical, and theological perspectives to dismantle common objections to faith, ultimately proposing that contemporary crises have actually clarified the grounds for a reasonable belief in the divine.
What You Will Find
This work is regarded as a significant contribution to twentieth-century apologetics, reflecting Küng's characteristic rigor and his attempt to bridge the gap between academic theology and the existential concerns of the layperson. The text serves as a dense, structured inquiry that demands a high level of engagement with both philosophical history and contemporary religious thought.
