God

A book of interviews
by Frédéric Lenoir with Marie Drucker

Presentation

“When did gods first appear in human history? Did the Jews invent the concept of the one God? Why is the figure of God almost always male, and why are religions so often misogynistic? Is God a person, a force, an energy, or a creative principle? Is the God of Jews, Christians, and Muslims the same? Who wrote the Bible and the Quran? From Plato to Nietzsche, by way of Spinoza, Pascal, and Voltaire, what do philosophers say about God? Can faith exist without doubt? Can science prove that God exists or that he does not? What are the arguments of believers and atheists? Are Buddhism and Chinese wisdom religions without gods?” These are some of the questions Marie Drucker poses to Frédéric Lenoir. Through a lively conversation, the two authors retrace the fascinating history of God in the epic of humankind. Frédéric Lenoir, without shying away from any important subject, delivers an objective, detached analysis, and succeeds in combining intellectual rigor with the pleasure of reading
