In the Twilight with God

Philosophy

“This journey ranges far and wide, following some of the great lights of the past such as the Hebrew Bible, Plato, the Bhagavad-Gita, Anselm, and Aquinas. While Tillich becomes his leading light, Farley also finds illumination in the works of Nietzsche, Hawking, and Dawkins. The result is a philosophical-theological poetics of God as the ground of being, the other who is felt, heard, and even hidden in the dark depths of humanity's own being and in the brilliant majesty of the cosmos. This is a deeply satisfying and beautiful book, one that speaks to mind and heart at the same time.”
