What Is God?

<b>In his most intimate and revealing work religious scholar Needleman cuts a clear path through today's clamorous debates over the existence of God bringing an entirely new way of approaching the question of how to understand a higher power. </b><br><br>In this new book Jacob Needleman-whose voice and ideas have done so much to open the West to esoteric and Eastern religious ideas in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries-intimately considers humanity's most vital question: <b>What is God?</b><br><br>With rich vivid examples from his experiences in the classroom and other walks of life Needleman draws us closer to the meaning andnature of this question-and shows how our present confusion about the purpose of religion and the concept of God reflects a widespread psychological starvation for a specific quality of thought and experience. In varied detail the book describes this inner experience and how almost all of us-atheists and believers alike-actually have been visited by it but without understanding what it means and why its intentional cultivation is necessary for the fullness of our existence.<br>
