What is God like? Come join Philip McCarty, as he enters an art gallery containing only one picture. God, through His word, has painted an unbelievable portrait of Himself.

Beginning with the physical characteristics of God: Spirit Trinity Self-Existence Everywhere Present All Knowing Almighty

The author then moves to the moral attributes: Holy Just Love Mercy True

He finishes with some of the characteristics that blend both the physical and moral: Wise Sovereign Unchangeable

Along the way you will find out how God has drawn you.

Whether you have attended church all your life or just wanting to take a peek at this God thing, you will find something of interest in each chapter. This book purposefully stays away from the Christian jargon and church speak, and defines every important term used.

If you have never read a book about God, then let this be your first.

While the ideal method of interpreting the Bible stirs great debate among theologians, seminarians, and intellectuals, average people living in a multicultural world are typically not very concerned with these debates; they just want to know how to understand the Bible. Led by the belief that God desires to communicate with each group in a culturally relevant and understandable way, author Philip McCarty offers a unique perspective as he examines the Bible as a cross-cultural text designed to speak to all people.

McCarty, who earned degrees in Bible, religious education in pastoral studies, and Christian thought, begins with an in-depth analysis of the Bible and the role that translations play in communicating to multiple cultures. As he moves into a careful examination of the basics of hermeneutics and the ways in which God communicates with humans, McCarty encourages students of Scripture to ask the right questions and obtain the right answers. Finally, McCarty discusses why the Bible continues to be a pillar of the church communitys culture and how its scripture connects to each individual.

And God Said, Lets Babel offers valuable insight into why the Bible is a cross-cultural document, how that affects the church as a whole, and what all this knowledge means to spiritual seekers around the world.
