What if we viewed God as the protagonist of the world's greatest book instead of as an entity of religious veneration? This is exactly what former Jesuit Jack Miles successfully attempts in his Pulitzer Prize-winning God: A Biography. He convincingly argues that our construct of God evolves through God's relationship with us: an image that in time becomes humanity's 'rival.'

This brilliant and stylish account renders God as a character of paradox, subtlety and depth.
