An Evolutionary Biography of God: Christianity in a world of science

By William G. Joseph

The best one can do when researching a religious topic is to read, listen and think. To this methodology we will here add a valuable tool, common sense. Some might object that another tool is prayer but that might introduce an element of prejudice. The concern of this book is to arrive at a mature and adult understanding of God that can equip us to flourish in the twenty-first century. To this end many questions arise: Is there a God? Is God a person? What has God done? What is our relationship with God? What happens after death? For most of human history, the physical universe itself suggested that there were many gods and Christianity has been repeating ancient stories and medieval conclusions. Many find this attractive while others, especially the young, are turned away. Today we have the advantage of vast new understandings and insights that modern science has given us and that helps us put what God has done into perspective. After all, what we see in the universe is reality and if God is also a reality, then there can be no disagreement between the two. The main thing God did was create a universe and by better understanding that we can begin to see that we are made to God's image and likeness. What we need is not orthodox dogmas but reasonable theories and pastoral sensitivity.
