Description
Summary:Heyward directly addresses our vulnerability to terror, especially its religious and political aspects. Examining six images of God -- God of War, God of Peace, God as Father, God as Spirit, God in us, and God in all -- the author locates an authentic religious response in a healthy balancing of God-images, while religiously motivated violence stems from absolutist theories that fix on only one image of an inexhaustible deity. Stressing mutuality and openness, Heyward sketches a creative Christian response to violence, terror, and war. Book jacket.
