In a consumer-driven and technologized world, can we still experience the mystery of God? This book answers yes by exploring the rich resources of the Christian tradition of thinking and speaking about God. Focusing on God's dialectical character--divine availability ("presence") and divine excess ("absence")--and the belief that "God is love" (1 John 4:16), professor Anthony J.
