A Faith to Live By #2: God Date: Sep. 21, 1952 Description: Sep. 21, 1952. Running time: 32:21. The human spirit is concerned with finding an ultimate basis of self-respect. In the context of religious experience, God is the great "other than self-reference" without which life has no meaning and without which there can be no creative and dynamic faith. For Thurman, the experience of God is the answer to a working and dynamic faith. The human spirit requires two things of God: (1) that God be the creator and (2) that God be intimate and personal.
