- Who or what is 'God'?
- How does the universe point to God?
- Does God have a purpose?
'Language about God is something like the language of poetry...The use of words in poetry is to evoke in us a certain attitude or way of looking at things or feelings about things...If this is the use of religious language, what sort of view of the world is it trying to convey?
