Zusammenfassung:All perception and judgment are to some extent the reflection of who we are. Our picture of God, too, is a product of the cave into which we were born. Acknowledging this is an antidote to one form of idolatry—the worship of our symbols for God. This confession that our pictures never perfectly reflect God does not mean, however, that we cannot give reasons for thinking that one picture of God is more adequate than another. The paper attempts to demonstrate this by reference to contrasting pictures of God analyzed by the process thinker Charles Hartshorne.
