Description
Saving God: Religion after Idolatry by Mark Johnston In this thought-provoking book, Mark Johnston challenges conventional notions of religion and God. He argues that idolatrous tendencies are present within many monotheistic traditions, where the pursuit of self-love and false righteousness can lead to a distorted understanding of the divine. Johnston presents a compelling case for abandoning these distortions and instead embracing a more naturalistic conception of God. By exploring the concept of supernaturalism as idolatry, he offers a fresh perspective on the nature of salvation and the relationship between faith and science. This book is part of a larger project by Johnston, which also includes Surviving Death, and provides a unique opportunity for readers to engage with his ideas on the intersection of religion, philosophy, and natural sciences.
