So Who is God, Anyway?: An (UN)orthodox Theory for Doubters, Skeptics, and Recovering Fundamentalists - 9798989474905

Often controversial, always entertaining...

"Boldly blows the lid off a taboo topic. If there's one book on God to read this year, please make it 'So Who is God Anyway?' by G.S. Payne." -Reader Views

"A well-written and convincing rumination on the divine." --Kirkus Reviews

GS Payne, writer, sleuth, and eternally curious ruminator, investigates 2,500 years-plus of philosophical thought on the subject of God. Using the tools of the philosopher (and a lot of humor), Payne traces the thinking of history's greatest brains to arrive initially at a conclusion on the matter of God's existence; then, a philosophical conception of God that is no less than startling, first because it is nothing like the traditional conception of God (he of the beard and sandals on his throne in the sky), and, second, because it is a conception that not only goes back to the beginning of recorded time, but is recognized by every major religion on earth, and yet has been tragically relegated to the fringes by the louder, more fundamentalist branches of mainstream religion.

So Who is God, Anyway? delivers splendidly-for doubters, skeptics, recovering fundamentalists, or anyone looking for a fun book to read about some damn big questions!
