What is his \"life story\"? 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, and abiguities of a Hamlet? This is the task that Jack Miles--a former Jesuit trained in religious studies and Near Eastern languages--accomplishes with such brilliance and originality in \u003ci\u003eGod: A Biography\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing the Hebrew Bible as his text, Miles shows us a God who evolves through his relationship with man, the image who in time becomes his rival. Here is the Creator who nearly destroys his chief creation; the bloodthirsty warrior and the protector of the downtrodden; the lawless law-giver; the scourge and the penitent. Profoundly learned, stylishly written, the resulting work illuminates God and man alike and returns us to the Bible with a sense of discovery and wonder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679743682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.21w x 1.21d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Pulitzer Prize - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/05\/1996 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/18\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/13\/2009 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jack Miles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36639895388316,"sku":"9780679743682","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_17b7f338-184d-424f-9364-1bfccec53cf0.jpg?v=1607545953","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/god-a-biography-9780679743682","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
