God : A Biography - Jack Miles

I get what this writer is making an attempt to do. He’s writing approximately God as though he’s the principle person in a brilliant paintings of literature:


the Bible. He’s reading his movements and discussing his position withinside the tale as though we’d observe Hamlet. I get that.


The hassle is that God isn’t always a person in a tale that starts and ends with the tale. If all you are doing is reading God primarily based totally on his interactions with people withinside the Bible, you are lacking the maximum of what God is.


Because it truly is all Miles does, he receives God’s person absolutely wrong.


Miles is making an attempt to humanize God, like a person in a book, and it simply would not paint. I understand Miles wasn’t looking to paint the non-secular God, however, how can that be disregarded while that is what God IS?
