Your God is too small

Book • 1956
In 'Your God Is Too Small', J.B.

Phillips addresses the limitations of various popular conceptions of God, such as the 'god who is a policeman', 'a grand old man in the sky', or 'God-in-a-box'.

He argues that these inadequate views can lead to spiritual disillusionment.

The book is divided into two parts: 'Destructive—Unreal Gods' and 'Constructive—An Adequate God'.

Phillips then articulates a more comprehensive and meaningful understanding of God, particularly through the life of Jesus of Nazareth, and discusses themes such as the nature of reality, beauty, and the attractiveness of goodness.
