The biography of God

God: A Biography is one of the most original and compelling readings of The Tanakh (The Hebrew Scriptures), I've come across. Miles is a former Biblical scholar and Jesuit priest, but this is a very scrupulous and balanced take on Yahweh that I have ever come across. His reading of Job is illuminating.
I used this every time I taught the Hebrew Scriptures in my HWC classes at KU. It is a fascinating work and very provocative in his readings and conclusions about the nature of Yahweh.
