God Matters argues that talk about God belongs in the public domain. Beginning with a range of comedians - who find religion an endless source of comic delight often to the discomfort of the faithful - this book takes debate about God into the middle of the confusing babble of voices that make up our postmodern world. Humorists, scientists, doctors, feminists, art critics, TV dramatists, and philosophers all enter the conversation as the author deals with the classic themes of faith - God, Christ, sin, salvation, hope.
