Hocking might not have quarreled with that description. He proudly con curred in Poet John Masefield's con tention that love and beauty are uni versal gateways to truth and agreed with Existentialist Gabriel Marcel that all of experience is a divine summons, exalting passion. He never wavered from the tenet of his first book, The Meaning of God in Human Experience (1912), that "the world, like human self, has its unity in a living purpose.

Now "God has disappeared because of the image of him that the church used for many, many ages," says Dominican Theologian Edward Schillebeeckx...
...Gabriel Vahanian suggests that there may well be no true faith without a measure of doubt, and thus contemporary Christian worry about God could be a necessary and healthy antidote to centuries in which faith was too con fident and sure. Perhaps today, the Christian can do no better than echo the prayer of the worried father who pleaded with Christ to heal his spirit-possessed son: "I believe; help my unbelief...
