The Future of God: An Academic Perspective - Paperback

by Stephen R. Schwalbe (Author)

This book reviews the three Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Islam, and Christianity) to determine how humankind will accommodate God in the future. While there are many publications about the future of God or the future of religion, they tend to reflect a specific academic field, such as theology or sociology. This book reviews the future of God reflected in four primary academic fields, including theology (dealing directly with God and religion), sociology (addressing how societies evolved with God and religion), biology (dealing with the scientific evidence of the existence of God), and physics (addressing God's intelligent design of the universe). Then the book analyzes each field's future projections for God in order to determine the most likely future. In the end, the book discusses a possible future religion based on the academic review of the future of God.
