What is the Possible Way of Looking at God? Introduction
“THE RISE OF urban civilization and the collapse of traditional religion are two main hallmarks of our era and are closely related movements. Urbanization constitutes a massive change in the way men live together; and become possible in its contemporary form only with the scientific and technological
Advances which sprang from the wreckage of traditional views. It is good to start this introduction by using the concept on the article “Images of God.” This is because it will help the researcher to understand what God or who God is. Instead of going immediately to the different field of looking God, understanding God, and the way on how to approach God in his contemporary time, the question now here is that, what language can be used in dealing with the nature the God? Does the traditional way of understanding God is still appropriate in today’s contemporary time? In this article “the images of God” deals to the popular culture on how they look God and go beyond to the different point of view of looking the existence of God.
When man will go beyond to the reality of his existence in dealing with God’s cultures probably there were a lot influenced to those who belong to their teachings, especially in looking God in different perspectives. However, I think the concept that I have seen in the article “Images of God” Precisely the idea that the post modern way of presenting. Do we still see God as something transcendental, or we need to look God the same like us human or just to understand God for what language of today’s contemporary world is using. What the Researcher have had seen here, understanding God is not only to limit our self to the traditional way of Presenting God as something transcendence, but the question is do the language that was in the Metaphysics will lead the contemporary people to understand God? Especially in our present time, this is to say that man need to transcend by using post modern language. Furthermore, the new war of looking at God then will lead us to the awareness of the massive influences of modernity in every culture and to the individual. This is then, what the post modern want to imposed, that man need to understand God by in his present time. And this is the invitation by the post Modern though man has a new way of understanding God and looking at God it might in a different we need not to set aside our traditional way of understanding God. Because, it will help man to become more critical in knowing the very nature or essence of God in his present time; but the important here is though we see God in different perspective; we still believed into something that his existence is real and we may call him divine or God that man needed to stand onto it
