John Metzger's book, God in Eclipse: God Has Not Always Been Silent, is a totally unique study for the inquiring lay person, Jewish or Christian, who wants to know the God of the Hebrew Scriptures. It is written particularly to Jewish people who have not been trained in the Scriptures and who wonder why the God of the Old Testament is silent to them. The author walks both Jewish and Christian readers on all spiritual levels through the Hebrew Scriptures into the New Testament to see a consistent picture of what God wants us to know about Himself.
Did God die in the Holocaust with the Jewish people? Since He did not, why is He so silent to His people Israel and why have they suffered so much? What is the theme of the Scriptures and why did God take the time and trouble to have His Word written down by Moses and the prophets? Whether you are Jewish or Gentile (any other nationality or religion), you will find this book very helpful in understanding the primary theme that God wanted the Jewish people to know. You will learn the primary theme of the Scriptures and how Jewish people today can remove the eclipse that is hiding the face of God from them.
