God Is Not . . . takes on today's prevailing misconceptions about who God
is by boldly stating who God is
not. Rodney Clapp critiques pop culture's anthem to a slobby, ineffective -God like us, - while D. Stephen Long, in -God Is Not Nice, - questions our therapy-fed longing for a useful, nonthreatening deity. If God is not an American or a capitalist or -religious, - as contributors Michael Baxter, Mike Budde, and William T. Cavanaugh go on to argue, then who is God? Laytham concludes with a stirring essay on who God is, calling the church to visibly demonstrate where its primary allegiance lies.
Audacious without being rude,
God Is Not . . . is a lively, necessary, and intelligently reverent read.
