What Do We Mean by 'God'? (Little Books of Guidance)

Language about God is something like the language of poetryintended not to increase our information about the worldwe know facts about the world alreadybut to evoke in us a certain attitude or way of looking at things or feeling about things. What sort of view of the world, then, is language about God trying to convey? Keith Ward suggests it is that the world is an expression of a reality beyond it. In this book, he unpacks the meaning of the word God and explains why we need to get rid of the crude and unhelpful assumptions that still abound. This is a book for all who are curious about how God, and God's actions, can be understood today.
