Images of God is always a compelling subject that has been given new life in todays postmodern and media saturated age. Cobb nails many memorable images of God, including great examples like Zorba the Greek, Augustine's Confessions [a great site of the Adventures of Confessions of Saint Augustine Bear is linked here if you have to time to get deep with Augustine's thoughts in hairy cartoon bear form], Fight Club, and Tori Amos. 
My favorite image Cobb cites is Wim Wenders phenomenal film Wings of Desire. I think Cobb's analysis of God in the film as an unseen or heard God is incorrect. Rather, I believe God is seen in the film through God's creation in both humanity and angels. God has set creation on Earth in motion, and just like us on film, is watching for the drama to unfold.
