Winner of The PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize 2022 Shortlisted for The
Wolfson History Prize 2022 A The Times Books of the Year 2022 A
fascinating, surprising and often controversial examination of the
real God of the Bible, in all his bodily, uncensored, scandalous
forms. Three thousand years ago, in the Southwest Asian lands we
now call Israel and Palestine, a group of people worshipped a
complex pantheon of deities, led by a father god called El. El had
seventy children, who were gods in their own right. One of them was
a minor storm deity, known as Yahweh. Yahweh had a body, a wife,
offspring and colleagues. He fought monsters and mortals. He gorged
on food and wine, wrote books, and took walks and naps. But he
would become something far larger and far more abstract: the God of
the great monotheistic religions. But as Professor Francesca
Stavrakopoulou reveals, God's cultural DNA stretches back centuries
before the Bible was written, and persists in the tics and twitches
of our own society, whether we are believers or not. The Bible has
shaped our ideas about God and religion, but also our cultural
preferences about human existence and experience; our concept of
life and death; our attitude to sex and gender; our habits of
eating and drinking; our understanding of history. Examining God's
body, from his head to his hands, feet and genitals, she shows how
the Western idea of God developed. She explores the places and
artefacts that shaped our view of this singular God and the ancient
religions and societies of the biblical world. And in doing so she
analyses not only the origins of our oldest monotheistic religions,
but also the origins of Western culture. Beautifully written,
passionately argued and frequently controversial, God: An Anatomy
is cultural history on a grand scale. 'Rivetingly fresh and
stunning' - Sunday Times 'One of the most remarkable historians and
communicators working today' - Dan Snow
Nicky Gumbel, pioneer of Alpha - a series of sessions exploring the
Christian faith - and vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton in Kensington,
London, aids readers following the Bible in one year programme to
understand the Scriptures better. Drawing out a theme for each day
from the designated Bible readings, Gumbel's exegetical writings on
the Proverbs, Psalms and New and Old Testament excerpts are packed
with insight, wisdom and application. These accompanying reading
notes will enhance the study of anyone reading the Bible in One
Year each day.
