God Revised

to come

Galen Guengerich

"Guengerich articulates an approach to religion that embraces community in its widest, most inclusive sense and does not dig in its heels when religious texts come in conflict with science. A rare and civilized antidote..." --Matthew Chapman, Writer/director of "The Ledge," author of "40 Days And 40 Nights," co-founder of ScienceDebate, and great-great-grandson of Charles Darwin

..".intellectually rich... lucid, compelling, and accessible..." --Gary Dorrien, Reinhold Niebuhr Professor of Social Ethics at Union Theological Seminary in New York, Professor of Religion at Columbia University, and Author of the 3-volume series "The Making of American Liberal Theology"

..".brilliant synopsis of a big idea from revelation to relativity... In this provocative read, the deity survives the Enlightenment intact enough to remain persuasive in a secular age. "God Revised" offers God an excellent chance to remain viable." --David Levering Lewis, Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of W.E.B. DuBois, and Author of "God's Crucible: Islam and the making of Europe, 570-1215"

"In "God Revised," Galen Guengerich ambitiously, modestly, provocatively and lyrically calls for nothing less than the transformation of religion. Part irresistible memoir, part erudite theological exegesis, part dazzling cultural history, this unique work makes the idea of finding "a god we can believe in" feel necessary, relevant--and most of all, thrilling. "God Revised" is an adventure that will enrich you, and stay with you." --Wednesday Martin, Columnist for "Psychology Today" and author of "Stepmonster: A New Look at Why Real Stepmothers Think, Feel, and Act the Way We Do "

"Guengerich speaks for those of us who reject both the unbelief of atheism and the hyper-belief of traditional religion. He eloquently argues that "the reason religion is necessary, after all, isn't so we can find salvation for the next life, but rather so we can find meaning and purpose in this one."t
