...there are those who simply believe that, by definition, God is unknowable to our limited, fallible human minds and souls. If God is ultimately unknowable, then how can we be so certain of what God's real position is on, say, the fate of Terri Schiavo? Or the morality of contraception? Or the role of women?

Through it all, Campbell maintains a sharp eye, strong wit and stimulating intelligence. Though not entirely coherent, Campbell...
Americans have resigned themselves to an inexorable fate. With a sigh and a shrug, they pull the gas pump off its handle, swipe their credit card, and cringe as the price meter climbs so fast that the dollar digit seems stuck at eight. Frustrated at their bills, they might rant to their friends, or perhaps even call their congressman...
