Summary: The last half century has seen both attempts to demythologize the idea of God into purely secular forces and the resurgence of the language of God as indispensable to otherwise secular philosophers for describing experience. This volume asks whether piety might be a sort of irreducible human structure, functioning both inside and outside religion.
