| Summary: | Placing Richard Kearney within the category of 'lovers' rather than 'theorists' among those thinkers engaged in the quest for God, the author subjects Kearney's recent book The God Who May Be to a sympathetic but critical analysis. Special attention is paid to the ambiguities of trying to think about God in terms of possibility. Different senses of possibility are explored, and not all of them are to be attributed to God. Without proper discrimination between these different senses, we might be tempted to make of the God of possibility an idol rather than an icon. |
