Produktbeschreibung
This book covers the author's conception of God aside from any religion. He does not come from a religious view in order to transmit the truest conception of God that he is capable of because any religion, whatever it might be, always claims God for itself in an exclusionary fashion. In other words, you must be a follower of the chosen faith before God will accept you into his kingdom. Wells rejects this view. Any man or woman who accepts God's love as one person connecting to their own creator, is fine. An intermediary, despite what they might crow from whatever pulpits they use, is not necessary. We are all God's children. We are all seeking the same God, so to be dogmatic within a certain exclusionary faith is small-minded and petty. If you want to grow up, spiritually, then this book is for you. Chapters include The Cosmogony of Modern Religion; Heresies, or the Things that God is Not; The Likeness of God; The Religion of Atheists; The Invisible King; Modern Ideas of Sin and Damnation; The idea of a Church; and The Envoy, one of the best "last chapters" of any book he's written.
