About the Book

The recent resurgence of atheism has reignited the 1960s debate about 'the death of God'. It is claimed that it is now time to throw off outmoded ideas of the existence of God. Believing in God is considered to be a 'delusion'; and God can be dispensed with in the face of reason and science. In this volume, fourteen contributors (thirteen Christian and one Jewish) argue that God is very much alive. They explore God's existence, not from the arid disputations of philosophy, but from their own experience of 'Encountering God' today. They write about their encounter with a God they have discovered in a great variety of places and situations. They posit no distinction between religious and secular, holy and unholy, sacred and profane. God is present in all of creation, including nature, the genome, the body, music, the horror of the Holocaust and politics. God is also to be encountered in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, those of different faiths, and even when debating the atheist. Above all, several contend, the Bible provides opportunities for deep personal encounters with God. This is a volume designed for both personal spiritual reflection and for use by religious study groups. It will prove an invaluable resource for enabling others also to 'encounter God'. ""Encountering God throws off any veils of religiosity as fourteen contributors open up their hearts about their personal experiences of encountering God in different ways - through music, politics, nature, Jesus, bodiliness and justice, to name a few. The breadth of their encounters points to an expansive Mystery within creation explored but never limited by our groping descriptions. Reading this book will send you into the world with both a renewed passion and wider vision to encounter and keep alive what Nigel Leaves calls the ""rumour of God"". It would be an encouraging book for a group sharing their own experiences."" -Dr. Val Webb, Australian theologian and author of ten books, including Nigel Leaves is Canon of St. John's Anglican Cathedral, Brisbane, where he is responsible for adult theological education. He is Adjunct Lecturer in theology at Charles Sturt University. He is author of four books including The God Problem (2006) and Religion Under Attack (2011) and is currently at work on a new book entitled Which Jesus? Whose Christ? He is passionate about bridging the gap between academic theology and the faith of the ordinary believer, arguing that everyone is a theologian. He is much respected as a conference speaker and workshop facilitator. He is married to a fellow Anglican priest and is a keen golfer.
