Overview

This is a book about choosing correctly in the cosmic game, in which all of us are involved by virtue of being alive. The cosmic game, then, is an activity that encompasses the whole of life--something that is of transcendent importance. The goal is to choose a prudential faith, one that replaces doubt with hope. The author rejects many of the literal claims of Christianity, in particular the doctrine of Special Revelation. He argues that all ideas of God have come from the human imagination at work over the centuries in the many religions. This serves to put all religions on a more or less equal footing. In the end the author argues for a neo-Christian pantheism and the belief that any valid religion must have as its base line the goal of compassion for all people. Compassion thus becomes the great unifier of all religion and obviates the need for religious dissension. In short: participation in the cosmic game is to enter into the "being" of the universe, and thus the "Being" of God.
