Seller: Writing Scotland, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Soft cover. Condition: 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'). Seller Inventory # ABE-1746100901253
