Religions Can Be a Problem, but God Is Great

This book originated in a request from the author's teenage grandson for guidance when confronted by religion. Accordingly, Geoffrey Baker, who spent his career as an architect and teacher, decided to do what he could to help.

As the title explains, there are so many interpretations of belief, some self-serving, others controlling and punitive, that religions can be a problem. The more he looked into it, the more Dr. Baker realized that evolution would be central to his enquiry, and that God, science, culture, nature and the humanities were all interlinked. So he found himself in "a meander across cultures.|"

The second part of the title posits the author's conclusion that although the planet we inhabit is an open-ended kaleidoscope of good and, bad, evil, and benevolence, beauty and ugliness, ultimately, "God is great".
