God
The voice announced, "I am God." For Jerry Martin, that encounter began a personal, intellectual, and spiritual adventure. He had not believed in God. He was a philosopher, trained to be skeptical-- to doubt everything. So his first question was: Is this really God talking? There were other urgent questions: What will my wife think? Why would God want to talk to me? Does God want me to do something? He began asking all the questions about life and death and ultimate things to which he--and all of us--have sought answers: Love and loss. Happiness and suffering. Good and evil. Death and the afterlife. The world's religions. The ways God communicates with us. How to live in harmony with God. Go...
Theology Without Walls
Thinking about ultimate reality is becoming increasingly transreligious. This transreligious turn follows inevitably from the discovery of divine truths in multiple traditions. Global communications bring the full range of religious ideas and practices to anyone with access to the internet. Moreover, the growth of the nones and those who describe themselves as spiritual but not religious creates a pressing need for theological thinking not bound by prescribed doctrines and fixed rituals. This book responds to this vital need. The chapters in this volume each examine the claim that if the aim of theology is to know and articulate all we can about the divine reality, and if revelations, enligh...
Two Philosophers Wrestle with God
Dr. Richard Oxenberg and Dr. Jerry L. Martin engage in a joint dialectical inquiry into God and ultimate reality. Their conversation provides a model of philosophical thinking and critical questioning with regard to spiritual life and its search for ultimate truth. After reading Dr. Martin's God: An Autobiography: As Told to a Philosopher, his extraordinary report of his articulate conversations with the divine, Dr. Oxenberg was left with a number of urgent questions. The two began their own conversation and Two Philosophers Wrestle with God: A Dialogue is the result. Here two philosophers reflect on the meaning of Dr. Martin's revelatory experiences, drawing the thinking of major philosophers and theologians into their dialogue. The discussion that ensues, between philosophical friends, becomes an effort to trace the boundaries of what we can know.

A Good Look at Evil
We meet with evil in the ordinary course of experience, as we try to live our life stories. It’s not a myth. It’s a mysterious but quite real phenomenon. How can we recognize it? How can we learn to resist it? Amazingly, philosophers have not been much help. Despite the claim of classical rationalists that evil is “ignorance,” evil-doers can be extremely intelligent, showing an understanding of ourselves that surpasses our own self-understanding. Meanwhile, contemporary philosophers, in the English-speaking world and on the Continent, portray good and evil as social constructs, which leaves us puzzled and powerless when we have to face the real thing. Thinkers like Hannah Arendt have...
