God in a Nutshell
What have Atheists, Christians and Muslims and all other categories in the human race got in common? Why – despite our shared humanity – do so many of us get involved in clashes about religion? And why do some of us even fight and kill each other? What do we understand by the word ‘God’? Are humans the creatures of God or is ‘God’ the invention of mankind? How can we make sense of ‘God’ in a suffering world? Why do we need to talk and listen to each other? How can we best address the problems posed by the menacing social and political breakdown in our fragile world ‘community’.
God in a Nutshell seeks to find common ground for all concerned with our shared life on this planet; for all who reject the activities of fanatical extremists; and for all who want to promote global harmony. In a wide-ranging argument the author challenges believers and unbelievers alike to re-examine their concepts of divinity and spirituality. He proposes a concept of ‘God’ appropriate for the 21st century.
