This book combines insights from sociology of religion and theology
to consider the fundamental changes that have taken place in how
people think about God in contemporary Western society. It can be
said that God has become irrelevant for many people, often as a
result of well-grounded ethical critique of churches. Here the
authors argue for the necessity of rethinking God-talk in a
pluralist and changing context and for thinking critically about
hegemonic ways of speaking about God from a moral and experiential
perspective, not only from the point of view of abstract theology.
Drawing on empirical material from a Norwegian setting, the book
advocates a critical-constructive theology with a notion of God
that takes human experience and social change seriously. It depicts
a God who is an enabler of moral maturity rather than an
authoritarian moral instructor, a God who is on the side of the
marginalized and poor, and a challenge to unjust hierarchies.
