The Evolution of God
Recommend on Google+
Robert Wright’s book The Evolution of God is out next month in America. It is a non believers exploration of how religious doctrine and practice have changed and evolved through human history. The book expounds the view that our evolving view of God can be understood as the evolution of the human understanding of truth, that the evolving doctrines and practice of our faith might merely indicate humankind’s slow understanding of the real nature of the divine.

Andrew Sullivan goes on to argue his own view - that the ultimate truth will always elude us. It is the search for this truth that is the point of our existence. “Humans cannot live without this search, never have and never will. Our counsciousness asks questions to which there is no answer; we are religious because we are human”. Sullivan goes on to say that the real challenge of our time is to remain open to history, science, and revelation within our journey’s of faith.
