At the beginning of the Old Testament, God manifests himself through miracles and direct intervention, but by the Bible's end, he has withdrawn from sight, leaving humans on their own. In this thought-provoking book, Bible scholar Friedman probes a chain of mysteries, from the diminishing visible presence of God in the Bible, to the Divine's disappearance in Nietzsche's famous "God is dead" declaration, to the quest for a hidden God in modern physics. The result is a bold and stunning work that dissects our contemporary moral ambivalence, identifying it as the spiritual crisis it is. 335pp.
