G.S. Payne presents theories about the presence of God in his book, So Who is God, Anyway? After a conversation with a friend, Payne wrote a book explaining God's existence. He applied thirty years of research on his own philosophical journey and reached some unconventional answers. Payne reviews his research and the philosophies of many notable people, citing the ten most significant arguments for God. The author explores some of the world's biggest religions, the relevance of biblical texts, fundamentalism, an in-depth analysis of panentheism, and the six largest arguments against a divine creator, using the ideas of well-known philosophers. Payne issues a ninety-day challenge to his readers that may help them understand their link to God or allow them to witness more beauty in the world.
With clear examples and in conversational language, G.S. Payne explains hard-to-grasp concepts to help the average person understand the reasons behind certain beliefs better. His exceptional research is delivered as if he's talking to you at his home while you sip a glass of lemonade. The proposed evidence is broad-based, and Payne often preempts a negative viewpoint by playing "devil's advocate." He discusses the belief in a higher power wrapped inside other religions, making his book a source of information for people from many religious backgrounds. As you read the text, don't forget to look at the footnotes! They are filled with humor and much more than just scholarly references. For anyone who is looking for evidence of God and atheists with an open mind, So Who is God, Anyway? is a good selection.
