MacCulloch considers Judaeo-Christian borrowings from Greek explorations of the divine, and the silences which were a feature of Jesus''s brief ministry. Besides prayer and contemplation, there are shame and evasion; careless and purposeful forgetting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany deliberate silences are revealed: the forgetting of histories inconvenient to later Church authorities, and Christianity''s problems in dealing honestly with sexuality. Behind all this is the silence of God. In a deeply personal conclusion, MacCulloch brings a message of optimism for those still seeking God beyond the clamour of over-confident certainties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48733367402839,"sku":"9780241952320","price":10.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780241952320.jpg?v=1719999947","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/silence-9780241952320","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
