Description:

The questions about God that used to center around his existence are now aimed at his morality: the God who permits diseases and natural disasters that kill innocent people; the God that allows brutal dictators to rule with an iron fist. At best this God is aloof and uncaring; at worst he is primitive and cruel.

Many of the contemporary generation have concluded, through what is called "common sense theology," that we are actually morally superior to God and he is less than inadequate. Even some in the church have begun to suspect this same thing: that God just isn’t that great. But as people of faith, we have an understanding that helps us bridge the reality of what we see with those realities we do not see. So how are we to communicate that to a skeptical generation?

In Searching for a Better God, Wade Bradshaw shows us that the caricatures many have drawn of God are not accurate and God, as described in the Bible, is misunderstood. Ideas about God that at first consideration seem unethical are precisely how we need God to be. He gives us ways to talk to those who doubt God’s character. By thoroughly explaining and examining this "contemporary, common sense theology," Bradshaw brings us back to confident hope in God, the perfect and moral God of the Bible.
