God is Not... by D Brent Laytham
God Is Not ...takes on today's prevailing misconceptions about who God is by boldly stating who God is not. Rodney Clapp critiques pop culture's anthem to a slobby, ineffective God like us, while D. Stephen Long, in God Is Not Nice, questions our therapy-fed longing for a useful, nonthreatening deity. If God is not an American or a capitalist or religious, as contributors Michael Baxter, Mike Budde, and William T. Cavanaugh go on to argue, then who is God? Laytham concludes with a stirring essay on who God is, calling the church to visibly demonstrate where its primary allegiance lies. Audacious without being rude, God Is Not ...is a lively, necessary, and intelligently reverent read.
D. Brent Laytham is professor of theology at North Park Seminary in Chicago, Illinois. He earned his Ph.D. in theology and ethics from Duke University. An ordained minister in the United Methodist Church, Laytham takes special interest in bringing pastors and scholars together to address theological and ecclesiological issues.
