A Human-Shaped God approaches the humanlike accounts of God in the
Old Testament as the starting places for theology and uses them to
build a picture of the divine. This understanding of God is then
brought into conversation with traditional conceptions that depict
God as a being who knows everything that happens, is at every place
at the same time, is constant and unchanging, and does not
ultimately have material form. But instead of pitting the Old
Testament's humanlike view of God against traditional theology and
assuming that only one of these understandings is correct, A
Human-Shaped God posits that theologians should embrace both of
these constructions simultaneously. This is a new way of
theological inquiry that embraces both the humanlike
characteristics of God and the transcendence of God in traditional
theology. By seeing and understanding the humanlike depictions of
God in the Old Testament and by using the rich language of
traditional theology together in tandem, the reader acquires a much
deeper and meaningful understanding of God.
