"I purchased this book right after I finished reading Borg's *The God We Never Knew,* and it complements that book nicely. The first half provides insight into how our images of God influence how we relate to ourselves and one another, and suggests that all the received images of God as wrathful and bloodthirsty miss the point that Jesus was trying to make about a radically re-imagined God. The mainstream doctrine of substitutionary atonement (with its image of God as a psychopath who must kill his own son to forgive me for being the way God made me) falls short of what I'd consider "good news," and this book provides an alternative understanding of the Gospel. The second half of the book provides a more in-depth Q&A where the authors provide reputable sources for some of their more unorthodox assertions about Christian theology. This book is definitely a keeper."
"Lent it to someone who didn't give it back. Got to quit that. Good choice for someone who grew up with a punishing image of God and wants to change it. God I miss the St. David's Bookshop."
"A simple book that helps me remember why the good news actually IS very, very good. A good book to read for Christians who tend to get frustrated sometimes with some of the more dominant views of Christianity as they have been handed down to us -- views that see God as the menacing "Good Old Uncle Gus" portrayed in the book. The Jesuit order has given its seal of approval to the book's theology, but I imagine some people will read it as unorthodox. That's okay with me, but I imagine some more "orthodox" Christian readers will be bothered by it."
