The Disappearance of God

A Divine Mystery
Book • 1995
In 'The Disappearance of God', Richard Elliott Friedman examines the diminishing role of God in the Hebrew Bible, tracing a shift from direct divine intervention to human responsibility.

The book also explores Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of the death of God and parallels between the Big Bang theory and Kabbalah.

Friedman argues that as God's presence fades, humanity must assume greater moral responsibility.
