Honest to God

Book • 1963
In 'Honest to God', John A.T.

Robinson critiques traditional Christian theology, particularly the notion of 'God up there' and 'God out there'.

He advocates for an existentialist theology, drawing from the works of Paul Tillich, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Rudolf Bultmann.

Robinson suggests that God should be understood as 'the ground of our being', emphasizing the importance of love and the divine presence in everyday life.

The book also explores the concept of 'religion-less Christianity' and the need for a secular theology that integrates God's revelation into broader cultural contexts.
