- Summary:
- One of Harvard's most popular teachers has assembled evidence within the Bible that the earliest Israelites did not see God the way we do--as a distant, omnipotent being. Instead, their God was nearby and human in appearance; he inhabited a spiritual world that existed in parallel with the physical world, just out of sight.
