This Featured Book “can be summed up thus,” blogger Mark Gladman declares: “Where good is done between people, there is God; God is literally the good we do for each other.” It’s as iberlibro.com warrants, “[Michael] Benedikt develops a new way to think about God in this scientific and media-saturated age.” Writing in Jewish Currents, Lawrence Bush supposes that “his may be about the best God a full commitment to rationality will allow.”

Benedikt’s book is seen by one philosophy professor as “a highly imaginative and provocative new conception of God,” and by an Episcopal cleric as “a beautiful proposition,” and “a compelling contribution to theological discourse.” A rabbi in Jerusalem sees it as “an exhilarating spiritual, intellectual, and homiletic experience,” while a scholar in Colorado deems it “the best new manuscript I have read in years.”

Writing for the Sea of Faith in New Zealand, Jock Crawford enthuses, “I myself think this elegant book is a tour de force by a gifted author. It deserves careful and repeated reading….” He found the text “remarkable for its clarity of thought and expression. Michael Benedikt has done us a great service by the writing of this stunning contribution to contemporary thought.”
