Religion is an essential part of our humanity. We all follow some form of religion, in the original meaning of the word. But organised religion establishes definitions, boundaries and hierarchies which the founders would be amazed by. This is perhaps more true of Christianity than most other religions, due to the short life of Jesus, his sudden death, the lack of any contemporary records. His teaching about the kingdom of God is great; it could see us through our time on earth. But his followers watered it down and soon lost it altogether. It became a kingdom in heaven for the few, rather than one here and now for everyone.




The Church, or Churches, that resulted became increasingly irrelevant, even a hindrance, to seeing it realised. Many will always find security and truth in the traditions that developed, and good for them. But for those who can't, for those who have given up on religion or never thought it worth considering, the original teachings are worth another look. If we could recover them and live by them, we could change ourselves and the world for the better. We could bring God back to earth.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Knowledgeable in theology, philosophy, science and history. Time and again it is remarkable how he brings the important issues into relation with one another... thought provoking in almost every sentence, difficult to put down. ― Faith and Freedom

Bringing God Back to Earth is a breath-taking project. But don't be put off by the scope of the book. The writer has such an easy-going style that we dance our way through aeons of time. And, of course, any book about God and religion is going to cover life, death and everything in between.Bringing God Back to Earth is a courageous book. It makes compulsive reading. It's what I liked about the book. We feel we are in the author's company, carried along by his fervour. But like all great spiritual books, the fervour is undermined by a radical acceptance of life. It left me wanting more; more about the practice of religion that shapes such a response to life. -- Stephen Mitchell ― Sea of Faith Network

MP Wolfe-Emery
5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough and enlightening
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2006
A great read. This book should be in every high school, ensuring individuals decide for themselves on the subject of religion and God. It covers a broad spectrum, bringing together history, revealing Christianity and asking us to think from our hearts rather than our ego. Realistic, challenging and thought provoking. Allowing you to question everything your parents/teachers/the church have wanted you to believe.
