520 $a"The God Biographers presents a sweeping narrative of the Western image of God since antiquity, following the theme of how the "old" biography of God has been challenged by a "new" biography in the twenty-first century. The new biography has made its case in free-will theism, process thought, evolutionary doctrines, relational theology, and "open theism"--A story of people, ideas, and events that is brought up to the present in this engaging narrative.
520 $aReaders will meet the God biographers in the old and new camps - Job, Augustine, Boethius, Anselm, Aquinas, and Calvin on one side, and on the other the early Unitarian and Wesleyan thinkers - a new breed of evangelical philosophers - including Alfred North Whitehead, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and Charles Hartshorne. This story looks closely at the cultural and scientific context of each age and how these shaped the images of God. In the twenty-first century, that image is being shaped by new human experiences and the findings of science. Today, the debate between the old biographers and the new is playing out in the forums of modern theology, courtrooms, and social movements. Larry Witham tells that panoramic story in an engaging narrative for specialists and general readers alike."--Pub. desc.
