God Our Contemporary – J.B. Phillips

God Our Contemporary by J.B. Phillips is a thoughtful and engaging exploration of Gods relevance in the modern world. Originally written in the mid-20th century and reissued for new generations, this book addresses the growing sense of spiritual confusion and skepticism in a rapidly changing society.

Phillips, best known for his modern-language translation of the New Testament, writes with clarity and compassion as he tackles questions many people still ask today: Is God real? Can we know Him personally? Does He still speak into our world? In response, Phillips offers a compelling case for a God who is not distant or outdated, but present, active, and deeply involved in the lives of His people.

With honesty and insight, Phillips bridges the gap between ancient faith and contemporary experience. He challenges misconceptions about Godwhether He is seen as impersonal, irrelevant, or merely a religious ideaand replaces them with the biblical picture of a living, relational God who longs to be known.

God Our Contemporary is a refreshing read for seekers, skeptics, and believers alike. It invites thoughtful reflection and offers reassuring answers for those who wrestle with doubt or feel disconnected from traditional expressions of faith.

This book remains as relevant today as when it was first written, offering timeless truth in a voice that resonates with modern hearts. J.B. Phillips reminds us that God is not a relic of the past, but the ever-present Creator who still calls and transforms lives today.
