Omschrijving
"When God Sends Fire: Testing the God of Men — and Watching Him Burn" is a bold and uncompromising theological manifesto that confronts the deepest assumptions of religious faith. With the fire of Mount Carmel as its metaphor, this book issues a challenge as ancient as Elijah's: "If Yahweh is God, follow Him; but if Baal is God, follow him."
In a world where countless deities demand allegiance — all claiming to be the one true God — this book offers not blind faith, but a methodical trial by fire. It dares to bring the gods of men to the altar, exposing them not with rituals or emotion, but with the searing flames of reason, conscience, moral law, and internal consistency.
Each chapter becomes a furnace, testing the divine attributes one by one:
Omnipotence — Does God need rituals and helpers to act, or can He create by word alone? Omniscience — Does His revelation reflect timeless knowledge or cultural error? Omnipresence — Is He bound by space and form, or present in all creation? Aseity — Is He self-existent, or does He rely on worshippers, angels, and throne rooms? Immutability — Does His moral law change with circumstance or remain eternally pure? Moral Perfection — Does He reward righteousness consistently, or favour political convenience? Love — Is love His nature, or a reward for obedience?Rather than simply attacking one religion to uplift another, the book examines the attributes of God as understood in the Bible and the Qur'an, holding both to the same fire. The result is a sweeping critique of the Allah of Islam, portrayed as a god shaped by empire, contradiction, and conditional mercy — a god who needs worshippers, decrees sin, changes commands, and restricts his love to the obedient. In contrast, Yahweh, as revealed in Scripture, stands as self-sufficient, unchanging, and eternally loving — needing nothing, yet offering everything.
The book blends rigorous philosophical standards with vivid scriptural analysis. It exposes contradictions, questions assumptions, and confronts readers with uncomfortable truths. But above all, it calls for radical honesty — an end to inherited dogma and theological spin.
This is not a book for the faint-hearted. It is a challenge to every religious scholar, every believer, every seeker who dares to ask the question: Is your god worthy of worship — or should he burn on the altar of truth?
When God Sends Fire is more than theology. It is trial by fire for the divine — and for those who claim to follow Him.
