Something Beyond Nothing?: The God We Don't Yet Know

In life there are a few major questions. Among them are What do we gain? Whats new? and Whats the point? This book creatively uses the Book of Ecclesiastes--where these questions often pop up--to investigate how we question what we question and why we question. Along the way you will encounter some of historys great questioners: Socrates Soren Kierkegaard Virginia Woolf Friedrich Nietzsche G. K. Chesterton and others though they may appear in unexpected ways. Something Beyond Nothing? is an experiment in finding and making meaning that focuses on the unpredictable journey of living with questions. Taking the awkwardness of Ecclesiastes as a cue Brian Nieces odd book is a mix of storytelling theological analysis poetic meditation philosophical investigation drama and biblical interpretation. Herein is nonfiction and fiction--with no clear line between the two--suggesting that our modes of meaning may be as significant as the meaning they lead us to. Whats more if there is something beyond nothing it may not be quite like what we think we know. And the God we dont yet know may surprise us.
