Biblical Foundations Book Awards Runner Up and Finalist In the
biblical canon, two books lack any explicit reference to the name
of God: Song of Songs and Esther. God's peculiar absence in these
texts is unsettling, both for theological discourse and for
believers considering implications for their own lived experience.
Chloe T. Sun takes on the challenges of God's absence by exploring
the often overlooked theological connections between these two Old
Testament books. In Conspicuous in His Absence, Sun examines and
reflects on the Song of Songs and Esther using theological
interpretation. She addresses three main questions: What is the
nature of God as revealed in texts that don't use his name? How do
we think of God when he is perceived to be absent? What should we
do when God is silent or hidden? The experience of God's absence or
silence is an important part of the human condition. By exploring
the distinct themes and perspectives of Song of Songs and Esther,
as well as how they've been received in Jewish and Christian
history, Sun demonstrates how both books serve as counter texts to
the depiction of God and his work in the rest of the Hebrew
Scriptures. Thus both contribute to a fuller picture of who God is
and what it means to know him.
