About

God is not an object of human inquiry but a subject who is in search of human beings. The prophets did not argue for God’s existence; they reported God’s concern. Divine pathos: God is affected by what happens in history. This is the central claim of prophetic theology and it is not naive. It is a complete alternative metaphysics.
