About this listen

 Many people don't reject God because they "don't want to believe," but because the image of God itself seems problematic: angry, repentant, jealous - in short, too human. This episode explores precisely this question: If God hates and repents, doesn't that show that he is a projection of humanity?

In conversation with Old Testament scholar David Lamb, we examine the emotional portrayal of God in the Bible: Is it meant literally? Anthropomorphic? Or is it precisely an expression of divine closeness? A fascinating look at the boundary between theology and psychology - nd at the question of whether we created God to explain ourselves.
