God Has Skin In The Game: How a New Understanding of Politics and the Soul Could Change America

Sean J O'Reilly

God Has Skin In The Game is a new way of thinking about America, God, the human soul and politics. Creatively promenading down the avenues of time, history, science and philosophy, this deep analysis of the relationship between politics and the soul is also the blueprint for a moral revolution. What is missing from contemporary political and moral discourse is which concept of existence underlies our common thinking and our institutions. Understanding how we think about Existence, as either a transcendental reality or a discontinuous process, affects the entire social order. How a culture frames the question of Existence determines whether or not values will be conceived as being merely subjective and relative, or whether they might be connected objectively, to a higher order that might compel or incline the human heart to goodness. The great American literary critic, Walker Percy, noted that the modern age began to come to an end when men discovered that they could no longer understand themselves by the theory professed by the age. What O'Reilly has done is to create a remarkable new framework for the origins of the universe that all men, regardless of creed or culture, might embrace. His theory regarding the Reality Dysfunction represents a modern alternative to the notion of Original Sin and the Fall of Man. God Has Skin in the Game challenges the religious and political paradigms on the left and the right with a revolutionary new understanding of Existence.
