God Revised: How Religion Must Evolve in a Scientific Age
“Guengerich articulates an approach to religion that embraces community in its widest, most inclusive sense and does not dig in its heels when religious texts come in conflict with science. A rare and civilized antidote...” --Matthew Chapman, Writer/director of “The Ledge,” author of “40 Days And 40 Nights,” co-founder of ScienceDebate, and great-great-grandson of Charles Darwin “…intellectually rich… lucid, compelling, and accessible…” --Gary Dorrien, Reinhold Niebuhr Professor of Social Ethics at Union Theological Seminary in New York, Professor of Religion at Columbia University, and Author of the 3-volume seriesThe Making of American Liberal Theology  “…brilliant synopsis of a big idea from revelation to relativity…  In this provocative read, the deity survives the Enlightenment intact enough to remain persuasive in a secular age.God Revisedoffers God an excellent chance to remain viable.” --David Levering Lewis, Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of W.E.B. DuBois, and Author ofGod's Crucible: Islam and the making of Europe, 570-1215 “InGod Revised, Galen Guengerich ambitiously, modestly, provocatively and lyrically calls for nothing less than the transformation of religion. Part irresistible memoir, part erudite theological exegesis, part dazzling cultural history, this unique work makes the idea of finding "a god we can believe in" feel necessary, relevant--and most of all, thrilling.God Revisedis an adventure that will enrich you, and stay with you.” --Wednesday Martin, Columnist forPsychology Todayand author ofStepmonster: A New Look at Why Real Stepmothers Think, Feel, and Act the Way We Do “Guengerich speaks for those of us who reject both the unbelief of atheism and the hyper-belief of traditional religion.  He eloquently argues that “the reason religion is necessary, after all, isn’t so we can find salvation for the next life, but rather so we can find meaning and purpose in this one.” With wit, wisdom and compassion, Guengerich will convince you that this is how to live a godly life in the 21st century." --Elisabeth Robinson, Author,The True & Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters “If you’ve ever thought of yourself as spiritual but not religious, as so many have, this is the book for you. Galen Guengerich masterfully illuminates what it means to be both, taking on rabid skeptics as readily as entrenched believers. The result is a book that both re-casts the concept of God and restores our faith in the human.”  --William F. Schulz, Former Executive Director, Amnesty International USA “Galen Guengerich has written a book so comprehensive, personal, inquisitive, rational, and emotional that no reader can walk away from it without having to rethink faith, deepen spirituality, affirm science, and live as a better citizen of the world.” --C. Welton Gaddy, President, Interfaith Alliance “Guengerich…offers a discursive meditation on how religion can fit into a scientific worldview. He rejects a supernatural, all-knowing God, yet still finds the need for a faith that gives life meaning.” --Publishers Weekly
