Why doesn’t God—if there is a God—make Himself more manifestly present and obvious in the world? What is the nature of God in relation to the nature of humankind? Is it possible for an entire realm of both power and capacity to be hidden among us? Hidden—for our benefit, no less—in plain sight? What is the source of the unending strife that we see daily unfolding before us? How ought we to understand what compels individuals and governments alike, to such seemingly obvious evils? Is it possible to move through life with a confidence and inner security that isn’t tethered to the tidal shifts of global and regional affairs; of war and scandal? What is the nature of God and what is the nature of humanity? How does love factor into it all? What role might Jesus have played in the societies that have transpired since his recorded life over 2000-years ago? Why does Jesus have such staying power in the spaces that matter? The ones we continually face as individuals, as communities, and society?

Celebrated professor and former director of the School of Philosophy, Dr. Dallas Willard, was employed at the University of Southern California for an astounding 48-years (1965-2013). In The Divine Conspiracy, Dr. Willard takes his readers on a stunning journey through the intersection of reason and faith, meaning and purpose, large truth-claims, and the interplay between humanity and the divine. Willard approaches the deepest questions that reside at the center of humanity’s quest to understand itself in this masterwork on human life. Through the brilliant reflection of this remarkable thinker, readers can expect to have new encounters with many questions they thought they had settled, and this, in a manner that is at once challenging and refreshing.
