• 4 stele, bazat pe 1 voturi

• A Human-Shaped God approaches the humanlike accounts of God in the Old Testament as the starting places for theology and uses them to build a picture of the divine
• This understanding of God is then brought into conversation with traditional conceptions that depict God as a being who knows everything that happens
• Is at every place at the same time
• Is constant and unchanging
• And does not ultimately have material form
• But instead of pitting the Old Testament's humanlike view of God against traditional theology and assuming that only one of these understandings is correct
• A Human-Shaped God posits that theologians should embrace both of these constructions simultaneously
• �
• �This is a new way of theological inquiry that embraces both the humanlike characteristics of God and the transcendence of God in traditional theology
• By seeing and understanding the humanlike depictions of God in the Old Testament and by using the rich language of traditional theology together in tandem
