Whatever the positive consequences may be, when God and other divine ideas are dethroned, the question of what takes their place becomes an urgent one. In that sense, the debate about God never ends. Anyone trying to rid themselves of their God is taking the easy way out. On the other side, those who seek to defend God uncritically are in danger of a life-threatening illusion.

This book creates space for the tensions and contradictions inherent in the question of God and examines themes of and approaches to contemporary doubts and non-belief. In addition, the authors integrate their own distinct biographical and intellectual contexts, daring to explore their personal history. In the end, only those who have known their personal Good Friday—that is, a moment of true absence of God—and can use that moment as a spiritual impulse are able to truly testify to the joy of Easter’s renewal of faith.
