Publisher's Description
▼▲“This is as important a book on this subject as I recall ever having read.”
— Huston Smith
“Brilliant.... Schroeder’s book demands the attention of anyone who wonders if God must be exiled from the modern, enlightened mind.”
— David J. Wolpe, author of Why Faith Matters
In his first book since 2002’s acclaimed The Hidden Face of God, popular scientist Gerald Schroeder combines decades of scientific research and biblical study to present a groundbreaking new paradigm of how to understand God. Readers of Jack Miles’ God: A Biography, Francis Collins’s The Language of God, and Richard Friedman’s Who Wrote the Bible will find much to contemplate in God According to God.

Editorial Reviews
▼▲It is all too rare for a scientist of international reputation to go on a journey of religious and spiritual discovery of the magnitude of Dr. Schroeders. Even more rare is for the public to be given so insightful a glimpse into the discoveries he has made along his journey. This is what Dr. Schroeder does in God According to God. Full of paradox, existential tensions, and spiritual and intellectual epiphany, the book is another gift to humanity from a scientist who is also a great man, a deep thinker, a spiritual counselor and a wonderful teacher. - Rabbi David Lapin
No one can read this book and ever think of God or how our world operates in the same way again. Schroeder has the rare ability to present complex matters, whether theological or scientific, in an engaging and understandable way. A must read. - Prof. James D. Tabor, Chair, Dept. of Religious Studies, UNC Charlotte, author of The Jesus Dynasty and Restoring Abrahamic Faith.
Schroeders insights help explore mankinds relationship with God in an entirely new and thought-provoking manner. - Rabbi Heschel Weiner, director, Walder Science Laboratory and Learning Center
A brilliant mix of ancient exegesis and modern science that will convince some and infuriate others. Schroeders book demands the attention of anyone who wonders if God must be exiled from the modern, enlightened mind. - David J. Wolpe, author of Why Faith Matters

A remarkable tour de force, combining science, theology and biblical exegesis in a most compelling and significant way, casting a new light on how we view God and our own place within the world. - Jerusalem Post
[Schroeder] has written an intriguing book that will stimulate thinking about the world, God, and Judaism. - Jewish Book World
This is as important a book on this subject as I recall ever having read. - Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions

A remarkable book. The science as well as the meaning of this universe and of life are discussed with insight, rigor, and depth along with a perceptive, challenging and scholarly view of the Old Testament. Great for a thoughtful reader! - Charles H. Townes, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley
God According to God is crucially important reading for anyone interested in the interface betwen Theology and Physics. In an eminently readable fasion, Schroeder urges us to define God not in Aristotelian or even Maimonidian terms, but rather in Biblical terms, as G-d defines Himself. I found this book a ringing confirmation of my deepest feelings about the Living God of history. - Shlomo Riskin, Chief Rabbi of Efrat
