Meaning

Closer To Truth’s exploration of Meaning seeks to understand whether God exists, and if so, the nature and characteristics of God. We ask the world’s leading thinkers in philosophy, religion, theology, and sociology how to argue for God and argue against God. We examine what causes religious belief.
