Articulate and direct Scott Munger calls on the church and individuals in the church to rethink their concept of God. Dr. Munger tells his personal story of agnostic uncertainty to his acceptance of the truth of the Gospel message. He shares personal stories and observations from his life in rain forest in the Philippines to the former USSR, Asia and Europe.

Munger has been trained in Science, in Biochemistry, in the humanities, and in linguistics. He has done research in the fields of cultural, sociological, and linguistic studies of other peoples. Well known for his stance on Evangelicalism today he has been featured on CNN and FOX News.

After twenty years of overseas missionary service Dr. Munger applies the understanding gained in culture, languages, and Biblical studies to challenge the American church to examine the veracity and power of their faith.

Dr. Munger asks the reader to consider the ways in which we have allowed our church structure, programs, political action groups, and a vague or misinterpreted theology to distort the picture of God we give to the world. A world desperately in need of the message we profess has power over sin and the promise of eternal life. He calls the reader to involve themselves in politics as citizens, to vote, to speak up for rights, and to pray for governments and their leaders. He cautions the reader: "Don't confuse earthbound political positioning with the divine administration of eternity."

The problem of evil is presented from a philosophers view and then from the scriptural teaching. Pain, suffering and the source of evil are all considered in light of the Christian's response. In the chapter which includes "Stories from the Rain Forest" Dr. Munger stimulates the thinking of the reader in areas of evangelism and missions.

The familiar story of the woman at the well related in John chapter four provides lessons in contrasts: Compassion, not condescension, truth not tolerance, relationship, not religion, fulfillment, not fluff, service, not self, and organic, not organized. The appendix, notes, and index included in the book make this an excellent resource for class study, reference, and lesson or sermon preparation.

Dr. Scott Munger asks the hard questions. Thought provoking and challenging "Rethinking God" is a wake up call to today's Evangelical.
