Rock of ages: the changing faces of the Christian God

Far from being the immutable 'rock of ages' He is often assumed to be, the God of Christian history and tradition has had many different and often conflicting faces.

This book opens with the emergence of the Biblical God from the pantheon of deities in bronze age Canaan, and culminates in the radical images of God that were appearing at the end of the 20th century, providing a historical overview of the different and sometimes conflicting ways in which He has been understood.
