Questioning God

This book features insights from Cardinal-elect Timothy Radcliffe and scholar Lukasz Popko, exploring the dynamic dialogue between God and humanity through key Biblical texts and the significance of mutual questioning.

Questioning God features the interpretations of significant Biblical texts by two Dominican Friars: Cardinal-elect Timothy Radcliffe, a renowned author, and Biblical scholar Lukasz Popko. This work challenges the notion that the relationship between God and humanity is one of mere passive submission. Instead, Radcliffe and Popko propose that genuine dialogue with God is rooted in questioning.

The book delves into the concept of Biblical conversations, emphasizing that true dialogue involves asking questions. From God's inquiry to Adam, Where are you? to the Risen Lord's poignant question to Peter, Do you love me more than these?, the text illustrates a dynamic interaction between the divine and humanity. It also highlights instances where humanity boldly questions God, such as the Samaritan woman's encounter with Jesus at the well. These exchanges reveal a deeper connection and invite readers into the ongoing conversation of the Trinity.

Popko provides a fresh translation and insights from Biblical scholarship, while Radcliffe draws upon his extensive experience as a preacher and theologian. Together, they offer valuable perspectives that can guide the Church as it navigates its faithfulness to God in an uncertain era. Questioning God ultimately encourages readers to embrace the transformative power of questioning in their own spiritual journeys.
