Book Talk: Seeking the Hiding God
In ‘Seeking the Hiding God’, Prof Eisen delves into the profound mystery of divine hiddenness, presenting a compelling exploration of how this central theological dilemma resonates within modern Jewish life. Through rigorous analysis and heartfelt reflection, Eisen tackles the poignant questions that arise when God seems absent, drawing on classical Jewish texts and contemporary thought. His insightful examination reveals how these ancient narratives continue to influence and illuminate the struggles and commitments of faith in today’s world.
Seeking the Hiding God invites readers to join the author in asking, perhaps for the first time, what they actually believe about ultimate matters of faith and doubt – and rewards fellow searchers for ultimate meaning with reassurance that the search itself can be a source of personal fulfillment, vibrant community, and great joy.
