Publisher's Description
How can religion speak to the millions of men and women who have irretrievably lost their belief in a supernatural God? This is the fundamental challenge that all of the great religions of mankind face in the twentieth century. Rabbi Cohen responds to the challenge with a carefully reasoned analysis. Cohen also lays to rest some popularly held misconceptions about the nature of religion and treats the concept of God with a clarity altogether lacking in current theological writings. He demonstrates that religion, far from being identified with supernaturalism, must now function with a naturalist view of reality and of human existence.

“A familiar assumption is that religion, and particularly Judaism, depends on belief in a conscious source that exists outside the universe yet acts upon it. This important and incisive book argues convincingly against that widespread view.”
