I really struggled through this one. I was raised in a nondenominational Christian family, so I wasn‘t unprepared for the theology. Some of which I found interesting, some not. My struggle was with the writing, if I can be honest. The dialogue didn‘t feel believable. Things like “Boy, do I!” & having God the Father, who was depicted as a black woman, randomly speak in AAVE when they had not been doing that previously. Also, some plot points cont‘d

AshleyHoss820 Felt too ridiculous? I think this was just one of those that I really wanted to like, but it got in its own way. Anyway, this wasn‘t a great read for me, but it may be important to someone else and that‘s what matters to me. 1d

I colored this picture and decided to write out the lyrics to this song because it matches the picture.

God: an Anatomy | Francesca Stavrakopoulou

God: An Anatomy, by Francesca Stavrakopoulou (2022)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: A reassessment of common ideas about the biblical God‘s body (or lack thereof) in light of parallels in neighbouring ancient civilizations.

Review: This book has a simple and incontrovertible premise: Since the Bible talks about God the same as neighbouring cultures did, there‘s no reason to think ancient Israelites believed God not to have a body. Cont.

Mattsbookaday From this premise, it then demonstrates just what this God looked like. While I do think it could have done this in a third the length, and I wish she‘d exercised both more academic humility in some of her conclusions and more curiosity towards the traditions that shifted belief into the more abstract conception of God that has been standard for centuries, this is very successful.
