Editorial Review: Product Description: From the author's introduction: Since the middle of the twentieth century there has been a renaissance of new insights into God in the Christian tradition. On different continents, under pressure from historical events and social conditions, people of faith have glimpsed the living God in fresh ways. It is not that a wholly different God is discovered from the One believed in by previous generations. Christian faith does not believe in a new God but, finding itself in new situations, seeks the presence of God there. Aspects long-forgotten are brought into new relationships with current events, and the depths of divine compassion are appreciated in ways not previously imagined. This book further explores these discoveries. After the first chapter describes Elizabeth Johnson's point of departure and the rules of engagement, each succeeding chapter distills a discrete idea of God. Featured are transcendental, political, liberation, feminist, black, hispanic, interreligious, and ecological theologies, ending with the particular Christian idea of the one God as Trinity. The aim of the book is to increase the light of theological knowledge, "ever ancient, ever new," among a wide circle of people, including students, pastoral ministers, and everyone who questions, wonders, or thinks about their faith. Average Rating:
 Rating: - An Inspiring ReadSimilar to her earlier works, Elizabeth Johnson provides us with an inspiring read with a wide sweep of theological insight - literally from every part of the Christian world. I found the Chapters on the Trinity and the Holy Spirit particulary insightful. A work of scholarly wisdom, yet very accessible for an average reader. Rating: - QUEST...Wonderful ReadingElizabeth Johnson does it again - beautifully! This book is informative, inspirational and challenging to all who welcome her knowledge and wisdom and all who might become open to new perspectives. Rating: - Ground Breaking Theology For EveryoneA tour through contemporary currents in the doctrine of God which highlights the context from which each vision emerged, the theological rationale behind it, and the practical implications this vision has for everyday life. It is well worth the money and is accessible for the average interested reader. Rating:  - QuestThis book was really good. There were specific chapters that gave me alot to think about. Rating: - Quest for the Living GodQuest for the Living God is the kind of excellent, inspiring, illuminating writing we have come to expect from Elizabeth Johnson! A wonderful book that merits a slow, reflective read and, ideally, discussion with others.
