Christianity without God
Belief in God — understood as a supernatural spiritual being who created the universe and continues to sustain it — has long been assumed to be the irreplaceable foundation of the three monotheistic religions. But just as the bible ceased, in the nineteenth century, to be convincing as the repository of divinely revealed knowledge, so the twentieth century witnessed the death of the conventional image of God. Lloyd Geering asks whether this "death of God" spells the imminent death of the whole Christian tradition or simply means the end of conventional Christian doctrine.
"My first reading of Christianity Without God was in a single day, as one might read a novel. It is that engaging and it reads as easily for Geering writes in simple and compelling language, conveying a complicated set of ideas in the most accessible way." —Sofia
"Lloyd Geering refuses to let faith stagnate. He punctures pieties of the past to find within the Bible alternative voices to dying traditions. His own voice speaks eloquently for a Christianity vital to a rapidly changing world." —Phyllis Trible, Union Theological Seminary, NY, Emerita
