God in Eclipse: God Has Not Always Been Silent (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780976525264)

Why does God appear to be silent, no longer speaking to the Jewish people as in the days of old? John Metzger uses his considerable knowledge of the Old Testament to present a very readable primer for inquiring Jewish minds. Metzger provides a sweeping overview of God's relationship to the Jewish people, in the past, now and in the future. He explores such little discussed topics as the many plural names and expressions for God in the Old Testament and what caused the theological split between Judaism and Christianity. This respectful treatment of theological issues from the Jewish perspective encourages the reader to read the Scriptures and think for oneself.
