Out
of their tortured history, the Jews demonstrate the most surprising lesson of
all: you cannot go wrong personalizing
God. God is not a blurry power living
somewhere in the sky, not an abstraction like the Greeks proposed, not a
sensual super-human like the Romans worshipped, and definitely not the absentee
watchmaker of the Deists. God is personal. He enters into people's lives, messes with
families, shows up in unexpected places, chooses unlikely leaders, calls people
to account. Most of all, God loves.
