Book Review : The case for GOD

Abstract

At the introduction Armstrong says: “we are talking too much about God these days, and what we say is often facile. In our democratic society, we think that the concept of God should be easy and that religion ought to be readily accessible to anybody”. She follows up telling “Surely everybody knows what God is: the Supreme Being, a divine Personality, who created the world and everything in it”. In some other place she says that people “look perplexed if you point out that it is inaccurate to call God the Supreme Being because God is not a being at all, and that we really don’t understand what we mean when we say that he is “good”, “wise”, or “intelligent”. People of faith admit in theory that God is utterly transcendent, but they seem sometimes to assume that they know exactly who “he” is and what he thinks, loves, and expects.”
