{"product_id":"9781628927627","title":"God and Meaning: New Essays","description":"Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest among analytic philosophers in the topic of life's meaning. What is striking about this surge of work is that nearly all of it is by naturalists theorizing from non-theistic starting points. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book answers the need for a theistic philosophical perspective on the meaning of life. Bringing together some of the leading thinkers in analytic philosophy of religion and theology, \u003ci\u003eGod and Meaning\u003c\/i\u003e touches on important issues in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, philosophy of religion, and biblical theology that intersect with life's meaning. In particular: What does the question \"What is the meaning of life?” mean? How can we know if life has meaning and what that meaning is? Might God enhance life's meaningfulness in some ways but detract from it in others? Is the most meaningful life one of perfect happiness? What is the relationship between eternity and life's meaning? How does the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes illumine the topic? Should we \u003ci\u003ehope\u003c\/i\u003e that a kind of transcendent meaning exists? \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Presenting a state-of-the-art assessment of current philosophical positions on these and many other questions, \u003ci\u003eGod and Meaning\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable resource for all students and scholars of the philosophy of religion.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47149094732016,"sku":"9781628927627","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781628927627_p0.jpg?v=1763873594","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781628927627","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
