The Good Question
Malcolm Down Publishing Ltd (Verlag)

What is ‘goodness’ ?
In contemporary society, there is no single conception of the ‘good’
or definition of what human nature is. Every daffodil is different.
Just as we partially understand the physical world we live in and have
a variety of theories about the way it works, the same
applies to our understanding of human relationships. That doesn’t
mean we cannot enjoy them and try to get the best out of them. Similarly even
though we may not be able to fully articulate what ‘goodness’ is, we can still sense it.
Nathan takes this uncertainty to matters of faith. He believes in a God
who is good and lived a human life. Through Christ overcoming the
tragedy of it, bearing the pain of human malevolence and seeing into
the intricacies of our motives, Nathan argues that the inner comfort, strength and inspiration found from a faith in Christ can make the world a better place.
Whether or not you have taken a step of faith in Christ, Nathan hopes that this book will make you ask
yourself some questions and start your journey of discovery into goodness.
Nathan Driscoll Is a philosopher retired social worker and a teacher. He is the author of The God Dilemma - A Philosophical Walk for the Undecided
