America's Four Gods: What We Say about God--and What That Says about Us ReviewWhen many writers describe religion in America, they compare and contrast Catholics with Protestants; or Evangelicals with Mainline denominations and liberal faith groups; or religious adults with Atheists. This book goes much deeper and assesses people's belief in the nature of God. It turns out that a person's concept of God can predict many of her or his beliefs and actions.
People's belief in God is assessed according to two criteria: To what extent is God believed to interact with the world, and to what extent is God believed to judge the world. These two criteria produce five very different descriptions of God: An authoritative God who is both engaged and judgmental; a benevolent God who is engaged but nonjudegmental; a critical God who is judgmental and disengaged; a distant God who is nonjudgmental and disengaged; and the Un-God -- the belief held by Atheists that no God exists, or that they have no concept of God. Many people select one of the five concepts of God as a result of their childhood experience with religion, as modified by later life experiences.
The authors of "America's Four Gods" demonstrate "... how images of God influence our beliefs and behaviors regardless of our upbringing, our religion, our political identity and an array of other factors."
A very valuable contribution to the understanding of religion in America.America's Four Gods: What We Say about God--and What That Says about Us Overview
