Summary
It is the rare person who has not asked about God’s existence or goodness, regardless of any answers reached or not reached. So, it is odd that theologians and philosophers typically fail to explore how to ask about God in a manner suitable to the potential object. In particular, they usually fail to ask how inquiry about God is to be related to God’s unique moral character. This failure is important, because God, if real, is not an inert or purposeless object.
