Our communion with God quite rests on our intellectual understanding of Him. In the history of the world, humanity has taken various positions for and against God. Even amongst the believers, the idea of God has been treated in very different ways. Sometimes even in diametrically opposite ways.
Even while God is essentially one, the idea of God is not. God of Spirituality is different from the God of Religion. God of Eastern Religion is different from the God of Western Religion who is different from the God of Native Religions. New Atheists denounce God while philosophers have a mixed opinion of Him. Old Science has always been quite skeptical about all things spiritual while New Science seems to be meeting spirituality.
This book is an endeavour to investigate the idea of God through the lens of spirituality, monotheism, polytheism, atheism, philosophy and science. In the upcoming Golden Age, we will see increasing integration between these diverse streams. This book is on one hand, a humble attempt at this integration and on the other hand, a pathway to help a thoughtful seeker better define his personal understanding of God so as to be able to live Him more and more.
