The Monster God

You’re going straight to Hell! The God of judgment and the perception of an angry God have been with us since the dawn of time and surfaces widely today in the theology and experience of believers of many religions. This personal memoir provides a theological and philosophical analysis of how the wrath of God came to haunt our collective imaginations, how we can come to terms with this god and where we go from here. It explores the darker aspect of divinity in many of the world's Native traditions, as well as each of the three dominant religions in the West; Judaism, Christianity and Islam, with a brief foray into other religions like Zoroastrianism and the mythology of the Hindu religion. It covers the nature of evil, the gods of wrath, betrayal, damnation and genocide, and the shadow side of God, the idea of Satan (also known as Lucifer or the Devil). This book examines the implications of the Monster God for people of faith and attempts a reconciliation of God with us. Page Up and Order Now.
