Or one might believe that God does not exist but meaning, morality and the rest are possible nonetheless, or, thirdly, one might believe that God has “died” and that any hope for meaning, right and wrong, good and evil, human rights, etc. has died with him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the Absence of God is the story of how, on a college campus in New England for three weeks in the beginning of one fall semester, the implications of these three views work themselves out. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhat kind of world do we create when we try to leave God out of it? Dick Cleary explores the fallout in this alternately haunting and hopeful tale of a university campus in turmoil. Packed with heroes, villains and plenty of seekers in between, this is a smart, generous novel you will not easily forget.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eStephen Martin \u003cbr\u003eAuthor, The Messy Quest for Meaning","brand":"Xulon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080921923824,"sku":"2940015703856","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015703856_p0.jpg?v=1763622884","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015703856","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
