About this book

Streeter examines whether reality is best understood as a machine, a living force, or the work of God, and how science, art, psychology, and religious experience offer different kinds of knowledge. He turns to the historical Christ and the Crucifixion as the supreme interpretation of pain and evil, presenting Jesus’ life of service as a model for overcoming them. The argument also considers whether individual life endures beyond death.
