A God for This World by Scott Cowdell

This is a discussion of how God became remote from the world, with consequences for belief, and how God is today being reimagined as being at home in the world and at work in natural and human events. Beyond classical theism and modern atheism, traditions of God at home in the world are recovered and holistic images of God explored - old and new. Incorporating insights from quantum physics, postmodern theory, chaos theory and evolutionary biology, the book recaptures the sense of God as "soul" of the world, commending a secular mysticism of God "in, with and under" all the struggles of matter, life and consciousness. This reinvigorated tradition of divine action is brought into respectful dialogue with the undeniable challanges to faith which evil and suffering pose.
