Finding God: Selected Responses

What is God anyway? First published in 1986, Finding God contains essays on significant Jewish thinkers attempting to answer the question looming above us all: Is there more than one way to perceive of God? How can we know God? What does God "want" from us?

As in the earlier edition of Finding God, Sonsino and Syme explore the approaches to God found in biblical texts and in the prayer book as well as those of the classical and medieval rabbis. This latest edition of Finding God includes two new essays on the distinct theologies of Abraham Joshua Heschel and Alvin Reines, as well as a chapter on newer approaches, including those of Harold Schulweis, Marcia Falk, Lawrence Kushner, and others.
