From Plato to Wittgenstein and religions from Judaism to the Hindu tradition, interspersed with divine influences from Classical Greece, Romantic poetry, and the occasional scene from 'Alien', 'God: A Guide for the Perplexed' charts the path of humanity's great spiritual odyssey: the search for God. Leading the way through this minefield is acclaimed philosopher-theologian Keith Ward, blending the sublime and the eclectic in a narrative which offers wit, erudition and moments of genuine pathos. As a survey of the different manifestations of God through the centuries, and an examination of humanity's search for the divine, this is an engaging and informative book. As a deeply moving testament to our endless capacity for spiritual hope, it is compulsive reading for anyone interested in, or embarking on, the great quest for meaning. 'A lively and very clearly written discussion summarizing and criticizing the thoughts of many significant thinkers.' Times Literary Supplement 'Wry but delightfully non-ironic, intelligent and clear, this book is a blessing. ' Publishers Weekly 'Highly informed, witty and immensely accessible. One of the most congenial, lively and informative introductions to this field.' Alister McGrath, Professor of Historical Theology, Oxford University

Keith Ward's "God: A Guide for the Perplexed," is a dense reading that covers different historical viewpoints about God and then delves into specifically Christian oriented viewpoints. He is very smart, has a sardonic writing style that will make you snicker, and presents many philosphers and theologians in an accessible manner.
Given that, don't expect to have your questions about God answered. He does have a point-of-view but does not force that onto the reader. It is up to you to find where you and God are in his descriptions of many possible relationships. So, if you want to be un-perplexed, don't hang out with Keith Ward. However, if you want to investigate questions and live in the mystery, this is a wonderful book.
