Coming Full Circle: Redefining God in the Age of Reason takes us on a journey that explores how conceptions of God have evolved over 5,000 years of human history. This evolution takes us from the Vedic Rtá, to Plato’s “forms,” Spinoza’s “substance,” and Einstein’s “mind of God.” In the process, we are treated to the wisdom of the ages. Parth Atrey leads us to the incredible realization that our modern definition of God is completely consistent with the definition of God put forth by our most ancient ancestors. We have come full circle.
Parth discusses the importance of faith and why it often trumps rationality. He shows why it is important to define God in a way that satisfies both our rational and our emotional needs. Reconciling rationality with deeply held faith and belief brings us full circle again, back to our most ancient religious roots. It also provides the only path to reducing religious conflict, eliminating superstition, and making this world a more peaceful place for all of humanity.
?Join this fascinating journey through the annals of time and through faith, belief, and rationality, and emerge with a refreshing perspective and perhaps your own personal definition of God!
