Night of the Confessor by Tomáš Halík

(read for book group)

Very thoughtful writing which probes the meaning of belief and doubt. He is interested in those who don't believe in God but believe in "something." Also he thinks that using words about God's "existence" makes it seem like God is a "thing" or "noun" and that more properly, in short, God exists in a different way than anything else in his creation exists. Perhaps "narration" as in Bible stories is closer than theological and philosophical speculations.
