The puzzle of God

"Most people think they know what 'believing in God' means but, as we begin to think more carefully, we discover that this is a far from simple concept. There are many views about 'God'; some of which we may have accepted or rejected without knowing where they have come from. The Puzzle of God explores different ideas of God and their origins, and then shows the effect of these ideas on religious beliefs such as eternal life, prayer, miracles, omnipotence and omniscience."--BOOK JACKET.
