Knowledgeable in theology, philosophy, science and history. Time and again it is remarkable how he brings the important issues into relation with one another... thought provoking in almost every sentence, difficult to put down. ~ Faith and Freedom
Bringing God Back to Earth is a breath-taking project. But don’t be put off by the scope of the book. The writer has such an easy-going style that we dance our way through aeons of time. And, of course, any book about God and religion is going to cover life, death and everything in between. Bringing God Back to Earth is a courageous book. It makes compulsive reading. It’s what I liked about the book. We feel we are in the author’s company, carried along by his fervour. But like all great spiritual books, the fervour is undermined by a radical acceptance of life. It left me wanting more; more about the practice of religion that shapes such a response to life. ~ Stephen Mitchell, Sea of Faith Network
An absorbing and highly readable book, profound and wide ranging. ~ , The Unitarian
This is a well-informed and daring book in its call for a radically new approach to religious understanding. Expertly summarising vast conceptual and historical stretches...even readers who find his conclusions objectionable should be thankful for his effort. It is a hopeful and exciting book. With challenges and epiphanies on every page it is a rewarding encounter with the art of believing in God and living accordingly. ~ , Nimble Spirit
I salute him. He is exactly the kind of christian the church must produce if it is to live another 100 years! ~ John S Spong, Former Bishop of Newark and author of A New Christianity for a New World
Very accessible for every man and woman who cares about their faith, I would like to see it made compulsory reading for every budding theologian before he is allowed to put pen to paper. ~ , The Presbyterian
John Hunt is to liberal theology what Richard Dawkins is to evolutionary biology...a readable, thoughtful and challenging work. ~ , Christian Marketplace
I found much to enjoy and even sympathise with. ~ Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
Highly readable and well informed, this book is a refreshing personal view of the evolution of Christianity and the spiritual condition of our time. John Hunt is now the managing editor of O Books with its fine list. ~ , Network Review
A most enjoyable and exhilarating book. ~ , Interreligious Insight
The best modern religious book I have read. A masterwork. ~ Robert van de Weyer, author of "World Religions Bible", "Celtic Fire", and many other titles
Answers all the questions you ever wanted to ask about God and some you never even thought of. ~ Richard Holloway, former Primus Episcopus, author of "Doubts and Love"s and many other titles
