description: What sort of 'person' is God? Is it possible to approach him not as an object of religious reverence, but as the protagonist of the world's greatest book, as a character who possesses all the depths, contradictions &amp; abiguities of a Hamlet? In this 'brilliant, audacious book' (Chicago Tribune), a former Jesuit marshalls a vast array of learning and knowledge of the Hebrew Bible to illuminate God and man with a sense of discovery and wonder.
