Abstract

SummaryIn this issue, four critical comments on my book “Gott denken. Ein Versuch über rationale Theologie” are published, I try to reply to. More strictly than it is accomplished in “Gott denken”, I outline systematically the fundamental questions and the most pertinent principles of a rational theology as an alternative to naturalism, predominant in our time. In the center of the following considerations, I try to establish a concept of God and a kind of a Kantian “moral” argument, why it would be more reasonable in one’s own life to hope to God as the creator and redeemer of the world and mankind instead of adopting a naturalistic point of view.
