God - Alexander Waugh

GOD IS THE MOST INFLUENTIAL FIGURE in the history of human civilisation but while most writers get stuck with the unanswerable questions of God's existence. Alexander Waugh quite simply asks: what is he like? Drawing from an enormous range of sources, from the sacred books of the Hebrew Bible, the Christian New Testament, the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Islamic Qur'an to material gleaned from hundreds of writers, mystics and prophets, Alexander Waugh has left no stone unturned in his compulsive mission to create a fascinating and complex portrait of God. A deeply felt and genuine exploration...and strangely, the god he leaves us with, however impossible, remains attractive Jeanette Winterson. The Times "[Waugh's] sardonic, urbane tone is in the tradition of Gibbon or Hume... very funny... wherever you stand-or think you do on the God question, this is a good read Susan Elkin, Independent Soft cover Covered in protective plastic Almost new
