Humans
have always sensed something that is seen as divine in their existence, and
they have always sought to imagine this divine reality.
What we
today in the Christian world call God has developed from a plethora of images
of the divine that exited in a variety of tribes and culture in the Middle East
for thousands of years. These images of the divine are often contradictory.
God
receives his characteristics and attributes from clever tribal gods of
shepherds, the vindictive mountain God Jahweh, the primordial El, king of the
Canaanites, the dragon slayer Baal and Marduch. He reveals himself in storms
and thunder, and at times makes his entrance as a demon.
How can
God be both loving and bloodthirsty?
When does
the notion of eternal life dawn? And what about the devil?
How many
creation narratives are there after all in the Bible?
