This book explores the personality and actions of the protagonist in the Hebrew Bible. Miles finds that God as a literary character is "an amalgam of several personalities" as creator, destroyer, warrior, moralist, conqueror, father, and arbiter. This leads many to approach Him with both fear and admiration. Miles goes on to observe: "God is like a novelist who is literally incapable of autobiography and criticism and can only tell His own story through His characters." This book circles around God through the accounts of Abraham, Moses, Jacob, Joseph, Jeremiah, Job, and many others. There is increasing mystery about the exact nature of the Divine One, and His story, according to Miles, ends in silence. This "biography" will shatter many conceptions you have about the God of the Hebrew Bible and it may open a few windows on Him as well.
