A Pluralistic Portrait of God

The years between 800 and 200 B.C. were vibrating with new religious ideas. God had burst onto the scene revealing himself to specific people in various parts of the world, creating the beginnings of our modern world religions. This book assumes that all these religions were initially produced by God, and endeavors to portray God as too vast to be fully contained within only one religion. Bugayong hopes to inspire her readers to enlarge their idea of God by perceiving him through the eyes of all the major religions from Judaism to Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. She explains how each different religion brings a new perspective of the divine that when collected together creates a wonderfully pluralistic portrait of God. Author Bio: ABOUT THE AUTHOR-Lisa Bugayong began writing A Pluralistic Portrait of God as an outlet source for her frustration in watching religion be used as an excuse for violence.

Lisa's mission is to strive towards peace, by showing respect and understanding to everyone she comes in contact with, and remembering daily that each of us is uniquely created by God.
