Ludovic Kennedy explores the question of whether we are any longer justified in interpreting what we call God as an autonomous, independent, sentient being, or whether the time has come to recognize him as we do all history's gods - as images created by the human mind to meet human needs. The author examines the origins of gods from the earliest times, questions the reliability of both Old and New Testaments, and records the growth of European atheism from before the Reformation to the present. Interspersed with this, Ludovic Kennedy offers his often witty insights into how his own upbringing affected his thinking; and, in the final chapter, tells how he has found his own way to spiritual fulfilment.
