God on Trial

Testing for the Divine

Paul K. Moser,

About this book

Moser, a distinguished philosopher and author of a dozen books, continues his quest to find an authentic, credible philosophy of religion. He asks: Can we trust God? How do we know that God is benevolent? Are there any "proofs" that God means well and wants us to be well?

Part of being human is testing the divine, Moser asserts--putting God on trial, so to speak, to see if our faith in life and in God is really justified. In the end, the author finds that we are in fact conscious of the goodness of existence, and the proof of God's morality lies in "righteousness among humans", people's ability to cultivate virtue in and among themselves. Human testing is invited by God so long as we use the standard of goodness/righteousness suited to a God worthy of worship. The book advances this neglected truth. In other words, God is always seeking to show us God's goodness, and our own goodness is itself a vindication of God's.
