God of the Bible and Other Gods by P. E. Kretzmann is a comprehensive study of the concept of God in the Bible and other religious traditions. The book explores the nature of God as described in the Old and New Testaments, examining the attributes and characteristics of God as revealed in the biblical text. It also looks at the concept of God in other religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and others, comparing and contrasting these beliefs with the biblical understanding of God.The author provides a detailed analysis of the various names and titles given to God in the Bible, as well as the different ways in which God is depicted in scripture. He also examines the role of God in human history, including the creation of the world, the fall of humanity, and the redemption of humanity through Jesus Christ.Throughout the book, Kretzmann emphasizes the uniqueness of the biblical concept of God and argues that it is fundamentally different from the gods of other religions. He also addresses common objections to the Christian understanding of God, such as the problem of evil and the question of whether God can be known.Overall, God of the Bible and Other Gods is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of God and its implications for human life and spirituality. It will be of interest to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Christian faith and its relationship to other religious traditions.1943. Submits evidence that the idea of a divinity found in all religions, particularly the so-called world religions of today, is present in a perfection yielding satisfaction to the human soul only in the Christian religion, in other words, that the Christian religion, even if viewed from this angle alone, is the absolute religion. In presenting the cogent material the author emphasizes two factors which, in his opinion, are essential for an adequate evaluation of the idea of God in non-Christian religions, namely, that of the natural knowledge of God and that of the infiltration, accommodation, and adaptation of Christian ideas in heathen religions, often centuries after the religion in question had been founded.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
