The Christian God

The Christian God presents South African philosopher Augustine Shutte's understanding of his Christian faith. Through a chronological series of essays, written over a period of fifty years, we are invited to trace the development of this theology and its application to a wide variety of topics. In an entertaining introductory chapter, Shutte explains the provenance of each essay and the intention of the author at the time. A final chapter is a reflection by the editor, Patrick Giddy, on the import of Shutte's theological development, drawing upon unpublished notebook entries and on his religious poetry.
