Why does God have to be so exasperatingly silent? Why can't we
see him at least long enough to allay doubt? How does one grow
deeper in love with God against the cultural currents of disdain
and antagonism?
"Chasing Mystery" is an exploration into how the Bible
negotiates the presence and absence of God in the hopes of forging
a path in situations where absences often seem more pressing than
presences. Amid the prevailing skepticism and restlessness, says
Walsh, we must relearn the skill of trust in reading Scripture. The
aim is to experience God through holy writing.
Walsh offers a work in biblical theology that explores the
liveliness of the God of the Bible. She insists that the pages of
the Bible do not simply "describe" divine presence; they"evoke" it
in the process of reading. Not al the time, certainly not
predictably, but enough to warrant a trust. Her goal is to
strengthen the heart's reading competency in order to facilitate
our encounter with God.
"Carey Walsh is associate professor of Old Testament at
Villanova University. She is the author of"Exquisite Desire:
Religion, the Erotic, and the Song of Songs" and "The Fruit of the
Vine: Viticulture in Ancient Israel.
