This is an auction for TOMORROW'S GOD by Lloyd Geering.

"According to Lloyd Geering, the world we inhabit is largely a product of our own making. We supply its meaning. Thus "God," a central symbol of meaning, is entirely a human creation. In Tomorrow's God, Geering traces the collective "drift toward meaning" that gave rise to the various religions and explores the reasons they are now in decline. He argues that, for our own survival, we must consciously create new meaning for our lives and shows how the Christian tradition may lead toward a new world of meaning."

"Tomorrow's God is a masterpiece of thoughtful and humane scholarship..." New Zealand Listener

"The post-Christian era offers a mixed blessing. On the one hand, many are now finding greater personal freedom, but on the other, we face a future without meaning, as traditional religious beliefs and practices are questioned. In Tomorrows God Lloyd Geering offers the distillation of a lifetimes reading and reflection on religious questions. He argues that the world we live in is largely a product of our own making, and that we supply its meaning. Thus God, a central symbol of meaning, is entirely a human creation. He traces the collective drift towards meaning that gave rise to the various religions, and explores the reasons why they are now in decline. Geering argues that, for our own survival, we must consciously create new meaning for our lives. We must focus - and urgently - on caring for the earth. But new systems of meaning can only evolve out of our cultural past, and Geering shows how the Christian tradition may lead towards a new world of meaning."
