Inhaltsangabe:

The great question of the contemporary age is not whether God exists, but which God exists. If the reality of God pervades all aspects of human experience, then different types of knowledge can be used to explore this fundamental question.

In Who Is God? Catholic Perspectives through the Ages , John Markey pursues this question by combining rich theological and historical scholarship with real-world connections. Drawing on diverse sources--from scripture and church tradition to poetry and film--this text offers a thoughtful exploration of and engagement with Catholicism's 2,000-year-old understanding of God.

Von der hinteren Coverseite: "Informed by the best of contemporary theology and biblical studies, John Markey's Who Is God? is wonderfully concise and surprisingly accessible. Carefully chosen poetry and film serve as an entryway and invite the reader into a vision of a God of infinite loving compassion whose 'heart' is tuned to the cries of the poor. Remarkably thorough, Markey's narrative deftly surveys the major historical developments and key figures who have honed and plumbed this vision through the centuries and ends by revealing the contemporary relevance of such an understanding of God."
