Does God Exist? - Küng, Hans

. .

Résumé :
Does God exist? Who is God? And can we ultimately trust in any reality? These questions have been among the greatest subjects of human speculation since history began, but not until modern times has the reality of God been so strongly called into doubt. In this monumental study, written for men and women of all faiths (and of none), Hans Kung, the most renowned and controversial theologian in the world today, first traces the rise of modern atheism in the works of such great thinkers as Descartes, Pascal, Feuerbach, Marx, Nietzsche and Freud, and then demonstrates--brilliantly and in terms that make sense to us today--why a yes to God remains a more reasonable and responsible belief than its alternative, nihilism. Passionate, almost reckless in its daring . . . Kung's best and most helpful book to date. --Commonweal A major work . . . erudite, fair, balanced. --The New York Book Review Stimulating intellectually, philosophically, theologically. --The Wall Street Journal Masterful.: --The Los Angeles Times Hans Kung is the author of many books including Eternal LIfe?, Global Responsibility, and Credo: The Apostles' Creed Explained for Today. He is currently Professor Emeritus of Ecumenical Theology at the University of Tubingen and President of the Global Ethic Foundation in Germany and Switzerland. He is widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest theologians of the twentieth century.
