God of the Bible and Other Gods (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169731752)

God of the Bible and Other Gods is a book written by P. E. Kretzmann that explores the concept of God in various religions and belief systems. The book examines the differences between the God of the Bible and the gods of other religions, such as Hinduism, Islam, and Buddhism. It discusses the attributes and characteristics of each deity, as well as their role in their respective religions. The author also delves into the historical and cultural contexts of these belief systems and how they have shaped their understanding of God. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the major religions of the world and their beliefs about God, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in comparative religion or seeking to deepen their understanding of their own faith.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.
