Who Where And What Is God

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The late, beloved Rachel Held Evans answers many children's first question about God in this gorgeous picture book, fully realized by her friend Matthew Paul Turner, the bestselling author of When God Made You. Children who are introduced to God, through attending church or having loved ones who speak about God, often have a lot of questions, including this ever-popular one: What is God like? The late Rachel Held Evans loved the Bible and loved showing God’s love through the words and pictures found in that ancient text. Through these pictures from the Bible, children see that God is like a shepherd, God is like a star, God is like a gardener, God is like the wind, and more. God is a comforter and support. And whenever a child is unsure, What Is God Like? encourages young hearts to “think about what makes you feel safe, what makes you feel loved, and what makes you feel brave. That's what God is like.”

The God worshiped by Jews, Christians, and Muslims never existed. This book demonstrates clearly and decisively that it is impossible that the God of the sacred Scriptures, deemed to be an omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, caring, benevolent, and just creator and ruler of the universe, could ever exist. Should he be the creator who designed the universe, then he would have been powerless to formulate any other axioms of mathematics, logics, jurisprudence, or ethics that we do have and, therefore, he cannot be the highest authority in the universe. Neither is he able to regulate the universe on a quantum level. All these eternal and immutable axioms may, nevertheless, be described as the mind of an impersonal God. This book is meant for theologians, philosophers, and everybody else interested in religious matters.

Invites young readers to become aware of God's presence all around them.

Internationally respected scholar Richard Bauckham offers a brief, engaging study of divine revelation in Scripture. He probes the deep meaning of well-known moments in the biblical story in order to address the key question the Bible is designed to answer: Who is God? Accessible for laypeople and important to scholars, this volume begins by exploring three key events in the Bible in which God is revealed: Jacob's dream at Bethel (the revelation of the divine presence), Moses at the burning bush (the revelation of the divine Name), and Moses on Mount Sinai (the revelation of the divine character). In each case, Bauckham traces these themes through the rest of Scripture. He then shows how the New Testament builds on the Old by exploring three revelatory events in Mark's Gospel, events that reveal the Trinity: Jesus's baptism, transfiguration, and crucifixion. This book is based on the Frumentius Lectures for 2015 at the Ethiopian Graduate School of Theology in Addis Ababa and on the Hayward Lectures for 2018 at Acadia Divinity College, Nova Scotia.
