God Without God Pb
Full Product Description
"God without God" takes the atheist case against God as a premise, then examines what remains of the western spiritual tradition when the God of presumptive monotheism is removed. It finds right at the heart of the tradition a concept of God, a concept of the divine, far more complex and mysterious than that which the atheist rightly rejects. Far from being destroyed or diminished, the tradition flourishes in its liberation. Tackling every issue head-on, the major sections are God, Ethics, Bible, Creed, and 'Home life, Sex and Gender'. God is the ground of all being and the sum of all divinity, the ultimate reality and mystery at the heart of our existence.The ethical system is the call to full humanity: integrity and compassion in place of disintegration. The bible and the creed come alive with new insights once the false god defined and rejected by atheism is removed from the frame of reference. The final section on home life, sex and gender uncovers more surprising and radical insights from and into the authentic western spiritual tradition. The tradition emerges with a timeless and profound integrity for body, mind and spirit.

God Without God
Guest reviewer, via The Good Book StallMichael Hampson states that the Atheist rejects the God who is a “wrathful king” of arbitrary rule and suggests Christians should reject such a king too. He then takes the reader on a tour of the Western/Catholic Christian Tradition and introduces us to Elohim / Yahweh (names used for God in the Old Testament) who is the “Ground of All Being” and whose nature is love. Hampson moves on to show The Holy Trinity as an authentic way of understanding this God and insists that The Eucharist provides the shape for an authentic life in the Trinitarian faith. He deals constructively with the ideas and ideals of Church, Ministry and Sacraments as means by which all life may be valued and affirmed and goes on to outline a thoroughly moral liberal sexual ethic, grounded in the principle of absolute commitment.
Hampson has sought to provide an outline for a credible Christian lifestyle for the 21st Century and a firm spirituality based in the Western/Catholic tradition. Whilst he may not convince highly conservative Protestants (or Catholics, for that matter), be gives an indication of the backbone that is present in a very liberal (Catholic) vision of our Faith.
