Publisher's Synopsis
Belief in God has been a cornerstone of Christian faith. The idea of a supernatural spiritual being who created and sustains the universe was thought fundamental to Christianity, was it was to the other two great monotheistic religions.;But just as the Bible ceased, in the 19th century, to be convincing as the source of divinely revealed knowledge, so the 20th century has witnessed the failure of the conventional idea of God.;Does this 'death of God' spell the end of the whole Christian tradition? Or does it simply mean the end of conventional Christian doctrine? "Christianity without God" affirms the latter, treating Christian culture as a living and evolving stream.;Lloyd Geering sees the modern secular form of Christian culture as the logical consequence of the basic doctrines of the Trinity and Incarnation. His book looks forward to a world with faith, not a world lacking God.
