Is God dead? Jim Marion says that what has really died is our myth of God, our worn-out notion of the deity in the sky, separate from us, who intervenes in our lives only when petitioned strenuously. God still exists, but we need to update our interpretation of God's nature. The mythic sky God was never real, says Marion. It was only a concept of God, now outdated.The real God is in the human heart, within the world, operating as the engine of evolution. God grows us from within into ever higher levels of awareness.In a bold revisioning of contemporary spirituality, Marion, author of the acclaimed Putting on the Mind of Christ, shows us how to expand consciousness and follow the genuine path of Jesus and the world's mystics into greater inner development.

      Marion (Putting on the Mind of Christ), a former monk and practicing lawyer in Washington, DC, has written a book that synthesizes some of the achievements of theologians and thinkers such as Nietzsche, Teilhard de Chardin, and the contemporary Matthew Fox. According to Marion, it is not God who has died, as Nietzsche would have it, but false and outdated conceptions of Him and the world-"a confused muddle." For Marion, our purpose no longer has to do with an external God but with the embodied God dwelling in each of us and in the world. While Marion's conclusions are not exactly news in more advanced theological circles, his writing has a clarity and drive that should make these ideas accessible to a broad audience.
