Abstract
This article raises the question whether Christianity might itself, at
least in part, be responsible for the modern waning of belief in
God because of its New Testament teaching, unlike that of the Old
Testament, that God is ‘love.’ After examining whether the Bible
does in fact present two incompatible views of God, the article looks
at some signs of how the traditional Western view of God might
be changing, in response to modern sensibilities. It concludes by
considering how it might still be possible to speak about the God of
Christianity despite the new cultural conditions of today.
