intimacy with God through prayers in mosques contributed to the spread of the coronavirus in Pakistan. As will be shown, Pakistan is living in an era where intimacy with God is not considered merely a personal affair. To most Pakistanis, it is a collective

Sartre's Three Gods
Daniel O'Shiel
This article argues that although Jean-Paul Sartre is widely acknowledged as an atheist, a closer look at his phenomenological ontology in Being and Nothingness (1943) demonstrates a more complicated picture. I explicate three concepts of God at

God!
Arthur Green
As a religious person, I believe that the evolution of species is the greatest sacred drama of all time. It is a purposeful process. There is a One within and behind the great diversity of life that seeks to be discovered, that has aimed all along, however imperfectly and stumblingly, to bring about the emergence of a mind that can know it, articulate it, and strive toward the moral greatness that will fulfil its purpose. I prefer to think of that One in immanent terms, a Being or lifeforce that dwells within the universe and resides in all its forms, rather than a Creator from beyond who forms a world that is 'other' and separate from its own Self. Within the few millennia that we call human history, the evolutionary process continues unabated, as ideas, images, and conceptions of the gods or God or the life-force grow and change with the times. This evolutionary approach to the history of religion will form the background for my treatment here of Jewish views on the subject of God, which I seek to address in the combined roles of scholar/historian and contemporary believer/struggler/theologian.

Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; And to God the things that are God's. — Matthew 22:21 “Boys come home! Now! Stop wasting my money!” Elikem 1 shouted at the television screen. We were at the office of Mepex, a Ghanaian

Sartre and the Death of God
John H. Gillespie
One of the liveliest contemporary philosophical issues in the Academy and the public square is the question of God’s existence, linked, in Europe, to the struggle between religion and secularism, epitomised by recent sad events in Paris. The New

Beyond the Human Horizon
Amira Mittermaier
consider the possibilities and limits of such a move in the study of religion, and to this end I turn to the figure of God. 2 As we will see, taking God as a decentering device is quite different from grappling with mushrooms or trees, or even spirits and
