God After the Death of God

2022 
What happens to “God” after the death of God? It is hard to believe or disbelieve in God in any straightforward sense, and the answer to this question lies beyond “atheism” and “theism.” Nevertheless, three ways of thinking about God can be considered: First, God as an absolute ideal who personifies all the highest values that we aspire to. Second, God as the image of transcendence, and the absolutely other that is glimpsed in the infinity of another person, or the sublime. And third, God as the name for the spiritual dimension of life which corresponds to a higher or greater power that we are bound to defer to—in justice, nature, or truth, for example—and this is something that we can call “God.”
