Belief in God

Belief in God lays out Gore’s understanding of what it is that he believes about God and why he believes it. It is the first of three in Gore’s Reconstruction of Belief series, which seeks to offer a positive account of Christian belief. Gore is seeking to show that the historical Christian faith is rational. A rational system of belief, says Gore, must be able to “account for the relevant experience in its widest sense, and the facts of nature and history, better than any other theory; and the best way to test the ability of any theory to do this is not mainly by attacking other theories, but by approaching the facts constructively and critically and seeing what theory appears to emerge out of their free consideration.”
