In a compelling, readable way, he leads us from the distant, authoritarian God of our childhood to an equally powerful, dynamic adult image of God--\"the beyond in our midst,\" the life spirit that is within us and all around us--that reconciles faith with science, history, critical thinking, and religious pluralism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcus J.
