Hegel meant by ‘God’. Was he referring to the Lutheran conception of the Christian God? Or, was he referring to a heterodox conception of God more in line with his philosophical speculations? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eThrough a close reading of Hegel’s \u003cem\u003eLectures on the Philosophy of Religion\u003c\/em\u003e, this book offers a detailed answer to this question.  It\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003econtends that Hegel assigns two meanings to the concept of God: an inward-facing perspective and an outward-facing perspective. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eFrom the inward-facing perspective, Hegel ventured to authentically capture how world-historical religions respectively portray the divine from their own conceptual, representational, and practical positions. From the outward-facing perspective, Hegel identifies divinity with absolute spirit in its odyssey-like movement toward self-recognition. The concept of God for Hegel encompasses both of these meanings. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eIt is argued that one cannot approximate an accurate comprehension of Hegel’s ‘God’ without analyzing divine revelation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eIn contrast to previous books, this book firmly grounds Hegel’s religious phenomenology in historical and logical factors.
