Dehumanizing God: What is left after?

What is left of God when we stop imagining him in our image? By dehumanizing God, it does not try to prove that God exists or prove that he does not exist. It proposes something more uncomfortable: to examine the images, explanations, and certainties with which human beings have tried to turn the unknown into something understandable. Through a journey that begins in our perception of reality and advances towards science, faith, morality, knowledge, freedom, and the limits of reason, the book questions how much of what we attribute to God really belongs to God and how much belongs to us. The problem is not only believing. It is also believing that we know why we believe. Fear, the need for security, culture, institutions, our experiences, our expectations, and our own way of interpreting the world can become filters that we end up confusing with reality. Therefore, dehumanizing God does not mean destroying him but removing from our idea of the divine that which perhaps we have placed there ourselves. But when the easy explanations disappear, an even deeper question arises: what is left after? There is uncertainty. There is our ability to ask. There is experience, conscience, morality, the search for meaning, and the need to decide how to live even when we do not have definitive answers. And there is also the possibility that God, if he exists, is radically different from anything that our human mind has been able to imagine. This book does not end with an answer. It ends by returning the reader to the question. Because perhaps the true transformation does not occur when we finally discover what to think about God, but when we are able to ask ourselves, without fear, what remains after we have stopped seeing him as we do?
