Summary: Alternative to a Dead God may prove to be a handy guide for the perplexed Filipino. Dr. Timbreza's purpose is to enculturate philosophical criticism of religion and bring them to bear religion in the Philippine context. Using the work of Erich Fromm, the author attempts to explain the many criticism of religion, particularly the need to develop some new thought forms for describing our relationship to the transcendent, and for evaluating the social function of religion. He devises a framework for thought about God and religion which will lead to a renewal of Filipino thinking and life attitude especially in one's relationship with others in the world.-Daniel Paul Kroger, O.F.M., Ph. D., Religious Studies Department De La Salle University.
