Description & Specifications

This book reveals a polyphony of silences from the history of Christianity and beyond. MacCulloch explores the Jewish-Christian borrowings from the Greek explorations of the divine, as well as the silences that characterized the brief ministry of Jesus. In addition to prayer and reflection, there are shame and avoidance, neglect and deliberate forgetfulness.

Many deliberate silences are uncovered: the forgetting of stories that were uncomfortable for later ecclesiastical authorities and the challenges of Christianity dealing honestly with sexuality. Amid all this lies the silence of God. In a deeply personal concluding thought, MacCulloch brings a message of hope for those who continue to seek God beyond the noise of overly certain certainties.
