The central thesis of The Christlike God is that Jesus is the reflection in human life of the being of God. John Taylor begins by pointing out how few religious people-or non-religious people- ever stop and think about God, but tend to live with an unconscious stereotype. He discusses throughout the text how we acquire our idea of God, the nature of revelation experience, and the range of reflection on God both within and out-with the Christian tradition. Bishop John Taylor was one of the twentieth century's leading Anglican missionary statesmen. An ecumenist, Africanist and theologian of internatioanl repute, he served as a General Secretary of the Church MIssionary Society at a crucial stage in its development and later became Bishop of Windsor.

A Little Known Jewel,
This review is from: The Christlike God (Scm Classics) (Paperback)
First of all, it saddens me that this book is not more well-known. I bought this book on a whim, and I am not kidding you when I say that it is one of the best books that I have ever read. I have read a lot of books by great authors, and this one ranks at the height of that list. John V. Taylor is a remarkable author with an incredible mind, and he writes in such a way that is beautifully poetic. This book is not an easy read, mind you, but if you can work your way through this intellectually engaging masterpiece I promise it will be to your benefit. I highly suggest anything written by John V. Taylor. Besides, you can get the book for 1 cent!!! Get the book and spread the word!
