God's Next Life
Jack Miles, director of the Humanities Center at the Claremont Graduate
School, is author of the acclaimed book God: A Biography.
Historically, monotheism emerged out of the polytheism
of the Canaaite Nomads. Now aren't we at the other end of the process,
nomads again, postmodern and placeless, living a life of fragments? Isn't
the religious impulse now not to make unit of diversity, but diversity
of unity? NPQ editor Nathan Gardels sat down with God's biographer recently
Pasadena, California for a conversation on this very large subject of
the religious imagination at the end of the 20th century.
