A New Book Discussion: How to Think about God

A New Book Discussion: How to Think about God

I will begin a new book discussion here in two weeks (June 17). The book is How To Think About God by Mortimer Adler. Adler is a well-known American philosopher who also edited the Encyclopedia Britannica. He is the author of many books. He was not a Christian when he wrote this book. He writes about the subject solely as a philosopher.

The paperback is available on Amazon for less than $10. The Kindle is more expensive. You may be able to buy it used and cheaper on abebooks.com.

Please buy the book and plan to discuss it with me and with others beginning on June 17. If nothing else, it will stretch your mind. I have read it but years ago. I remember it being very lucid for a book of philosophy.

*Note: If you choose to comment, make sure your comment is relatively brief (no more than 100 words), on topic, addressed to me, civil and respectful (not hostile or argumentative), and devoid of pictures or links.*
