Does God engage in entertaining, matchmaking, time management or even medicine? Some messages today coming both from inside and outside of the church, would have us believe so. In God Does Not . . ., a number of astute theologians challenge these commonly held, widespread misconceptions of how God works in today's world. A follow-up to the intriguingly popular God Is Not . . ., readers will find this book is both accessible and provocative. In the end, we are left not with a negation of what God does, but an affirmation of a God who does all things well.

Is God in the business of entertainment, matchmaking, time management, blood sacrifice, or medicine? If you listen to some messages both inside and outside the church today, you might think so. But in God Does Not . . ., several theologians challenge these and other widespread misconceptions of how God works in the world. A follow-up to the popular God Is Not . . ., this book is both accessible and provocative. In the end, we are left not with a negation of what God does, but an affirmation of a God who does all things well and often far exceeds what our human imaginations can fathom.
