Description: Who is the God in whom Christians believe? Is he just
a figment of the human mind as critics of religion claimed in the
nineteenth century and as crusading atheists assert again today?
Since the beginnings of rational thought the brightest minds among
humanity have attempted to assert that God does indeed exist. But
even the so-called proofs for God's existence always started with
the assumption that there is someone to prove. As soon as we move
beyond that which is within space and time mere proofs or disproofs
no longer suffice. Both believers and unbelievers live to a certain
degree by faith. Yet religion is inextricably connected with human
history. When we journey through the landscape of religion and
witness its gradual unfolding we soon realize that not all
religions are equal. Though they may be witnesses of the same God,
the way they talk about God is so different that this not only
leads to very different concepts of God but also to different
approaches to life on this earth. At the end of this long journey
we finally arrive at the Judeo-Christian tradition which witnesses
to the God in whom Christians believe. This book seeks to show how
this belief matured and what difference this belief still makes
today. Endorsements: ""Building upon decades of interreligious and
ecumenical engagement, Hans Schwarz establishes the parameters for
serious deliberation of the God question in our time. Taking
seriously diverse views and counterarguments against religion, The
God Who Is invites readers to examine biblical claims for the God
who is revealed in history and whose ultimate self-disclosure
occurs in Jesus Christ. The longings of theomorphous humanity meet
the infinite compassion of the one, true God most adequately and
completely in the Christ event."" --Craig L. Nessan Academic Dean
