The Naked God grew, in part, out of the discussions had over four years with a group of people who responded to a notice Vincent Struwick placed in his local parish newsletter in rural Buckinghamshire in 2010. It was an invtation to wrestle with God by which he meant teasing out the joy and sorrows of what it means to be human.
The book encourages readers to critically examine their understanding of God, emphasizing that traditional interpretations may not resonate in the modern age. It addresses the disillusionment many feel towards organized religion and highlights the need for contemporary tools to engage with profound spiritual questions. Vincent Strudwick, alongside theologian Jane Shaw, invites readers to become "wrestlers" in their quest for deeper insights into God, the Bible, and spirituality, fostering a more relevant and personal exploration of faith in today's world.
