Book review: Cosmology: Science and the Meaning of the Universe by John McLeish
de Koning, J. 1996.  PSCF 48(4):262. CELD ID 13913

Abstract
Reading how McLeish talks about God and the Bible hurts. The personality, behavior, and talk of Yahweh in the Old Testament horrify McLeish (p. 187). He said that the God portrayed by Christ was different, not a malicious and bad-tempered old man. He also says that Christ's followers were wrong. The story about the tables of law is the quintessence of anthropomorphism (p. 190). Ironically, he refers to Ex. 33:17-23, where the Lord tells Moses that he will not show himself to Moses. Moses may only see his goodness. At the end of the chapter, McLeish tells how God should be.
