In this latest installment of the Homebrewed Christianity series, edited by Tripp Fuller, Eric E. Hall approaches the question of God from various perspectives, including philosophy, personal revelation, Christian tradition, and other religions. The classical conception of God is like the famously stoic-yet-lethal character in the Karate Kid. Competing versions of God include Your Hippie Aunt, St. Joan of Arc, and even the muscle-headed goons from Jersey Shore. Hall uses each of these analogies to elucidate a version of God that has held sway at one point or another. For each, he shows strengths and weaknesses, pros and cons. After proposing this nouveau pantheon, Hall takes on atheism, religion versus science, and popular images of Jesus. At the end of this romp through history and pop culture, Hall argues that the God you need may be the very God you rejected years ago. 410 0$aHomebrewed Christianity guide. 606 $aGod (Christianity) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGod (Christianity) 676 $a231 700 $aHall$b Eric E.$061144 702 $aFuller$b Tripp 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148718403321 996 $aThe Homebrewed Christianity Guide to God$92890432 997 $aUNINA
