This book appears at a time when theologians are engaged in a widely publicized re-examination of the basic tenets of Protestant theology. Understanding God provides an overview of the current debate, focusing on the new quest of God as the unifying concern. In his attempt to formulate a new approach to God, Dr. Herzog explores such related topics as the relevance of the historical Jesus, the question of man's own being, the proclamation and content of the Christian Word, and the problem of language itself as used to describe God.

This fresh articulation of the quest for God in its relation to other contemporary concers will be welcomed by all those who believe that the dialogue now taking place within Protestant theology is important. -Publisher
