Omschrijving
The opening concept is that "nothing comes from nothing." Therefore God must exist. There are arguments pro and con.
This book examines concepts of God and suggests that like the blind men who went to see the elephant we know very little and often claim to know nearly all about God. It examines the man made or anthropomorphic God. It also looks at the ideas of other major world religions and seeks for common ground. It discusses principles for peacfull co-existence.
The concept of specialness is examined. It seems that many religionists think that they are special and have the inside track with the Divine. What wise Earthly Father favours one child over the rest? Even so identifying God as Father limits and therefore is a confining concept. It suggests that primitive people understood power and Fathers and kings had power so these metaphors were used to describe God. It asks if modern civilization can be satisfied with such limiting and inadequate metaphors. While science and technology have advanced concepts of the Divine have remained static. Therefore many thinkers have written the whole thing off.
The last chapter is in the form of the writers personal journey. Each chapter is complete with footnotes.
