The Tomorrow's God
How We Create Our WorldsLloyd 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] could easily have been titled 'God in the 21st Century'; it is a brilliant compendium of all that
the author has ever written and more." —City Voice, Wellington, New Zealand |

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