Publisher's Description
"God" is often misunderstood or dismissed in this secular age. "GOD"? What's That? is the essential translation guide for open skeptics, inquiring seekers, doubting believers, and teachers of faith who find themselves in a "Godless world." This book steps away from the current polarized debates and simplistic caricatures to invite readers on a journey that will translate and rediscover the most profound idea about reality and truth that has shaped history: God. This journey will explore questions like: What if "God" pointed not to some remote entity, but Reality all around us? What if this Reality "speaks" to people through truth, experience, and even their innermost thoughts? What if there is a moral character to this Reality, a "goodness" that speaks in face of evil? Embark on this journey toward that border between the "Godless world" and the world that God "speaks," which will shed a new light on faith and reality!

“Paul Chung understands well the kind of thinking that informs the conviction that—as Albert Camus once put it—we are condemned to engage in ‘the desperate encounter between human inquiry and the silence of the universe.’ But Chung argues convincingly here that if we listen in the right way we can hear a wonderful message from a God who has broken the silence to speak to us. I hope that the compelling case made in this fine book reaches many intellectual and spiritual ‘ears!’”
“Paul Chung has written a timely book that addresses our current situation in a helpful and straightforward way. Many people don’t just not believe in God—they don’t know how to think about God. Chung addresses current (mis)understandings of who God is and provides plausible and inviting ways to think about a God who not only is but speaks, if we will only listen.”
“Whether a reader is a skeptic, explorer, seeker, or confirmed believer, this book offers them two gifts. The first is a careful examination and description of the worldview many people have been formed in and operate out of across today’s increasingly secular West. The second gift offered is an accessible yet scholarly apologetic for a very different worldview, as it addresses common questions about the nature and mission of God according to orthodox Christian teaching. I highly recommend this book to those hoping to effectively share the Christian faith today, as well as to those wanting to explore it.”
