Hall approaches the question of God from various perspectives including philosophy personal revelation Christian tradition and other religions.The classical conception of God is like the famously stoic-yet-lethal character in the Karate Kid. Competing versions of God include Your Hippie Aunt St. Joan of Arc and even the muscle-headed goons from Jersey Shore. Hall uses each of these analogies to elucidate a version of God that has held sway at one point or another. For each he shows strengths and weaknesses pros and cons.After proposing this nouveau-pantheon Hall takes on atheism religion versus science and popular images of Jesus.
