Dr. Richard Oxenberg and Dr. Jerry L. Martin engage in a joint dialectical inquiry into God and ultimate reality. Their conversation provides a model of philosophical thinking and critical questioning with regard to spiritual life and its search for ultimate truth.

After reading Dr. Martin’s God: An Autobiography, his extraordinary report of his articulate conversations with the divine, Dr. Oxenberg was left with a number of urgent questions. The two began their own conversation and Two Philosophers Wrestle with God: A Dialogue is the result. Here two philosophers reflect on the meaning of Dr. Martin’s revelatory experiences, drawing the thinking of major philosophers and theologians into their dialogue. The discussion that ensues, between philosophical friends, becomes an effort to trace the boundaries of what we can know.
