Quest for the Living God

Johnson has a broad audience in mind and says her goal with the book “is to enlighten the minds of those who seek understanding about spiritual matters; to encourage those who doubt to keep faith with their questions; to give energetic support to those who work for the good of others, and to provide those who teach or preach in the church with food for thought that they can use to nourish others” (1).

This book highlights some of the lessons learned from discoveries people have made about who God is and how God acts in the world. Each chapter describes the context it comes from, the reasoning behind it, and the challenge it presents to spiritual and practical life. The book features transcendental, political, liberation, feminist, Black, Hispanic, interreligious, and ecological theologies (3).
