Description
Described by the BBC as "the last living heretic”, Lloyd Geering has spent much of his life wrestling with God. Of late, however, he finds himself struggling with the absence of God. Drawing from theology, science and his own faith journey-from his call to ministry, through his much-publicized heresy trial, to decades of public speaking, teaching and writing, Geering retraces key developments in the Western understanding of God.
