Customer Review: To my mind this is the best of Spong's books yet. The way he mixes personal experience with history and theological thinking weaves a tapestry that makes this very daunting subject much less intimidating. What I also find interesting is how this book links to positions Spong has taken in his earlier... more info
Customer Review: This book fits my feelings about religion so it comes a no suprise that I enjoyed it. It follows the Baruch Spinoze idea of ""I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them". It is an attempt at understanding why humans seem to... more info
Customer Review: This is an exhaustive study of worldviews, well written, with a wealth of detail for those who require this.

Shermer unveils for the reader the mechanics of the belief engine of the human mind, and he fairly describes the role of belief in the... more info
Customer Review: Smith documents an emerging trend in Biblical Studies in a clear, concise and readable fashion. His notes and bibliography are also invaluable to anyone seriously interested in either Assyriology or the emergence of Biblical monotheism. Ignore the intellectual dishonesty of the apologist... more info
Customer Review: Ware's volume was extremely helpful in addressing the "Open Theism" matter within Christianity a few years back. Still, I consistently reach for Ware as a theological resource. Companion to "God's Lesser Glory". "Lesser" is a more issue-specific book, whereas "Greater" is a more timeless book on... more info
