After nearly half a century of studying and teaching major works of modern Jewish religious thought, Arnold Eisen—one of the world’s leading scholars on American Judaism—has written a personal theological essay remarkable for its honesty, accessibility, and insight.

Like many Jewish theologians before him, Arnold Eisen is resigned to the fact that there are few mere mortals who can know about God’s nature. His focus is instead the search for the “hiding God,” the meaning of fleeting encounters with the Creator, and the acts of justice and compassion that human beings are called upon to perform as God’s partners, in God’s name.

Seeking the Hiding God is a rich, original, and moving work. It invites readers of all persuasions to join the author in asking—perhaps for the first time—what they actually believe about ultimate matters of faith and doubt, and rewards fellow searchers for ultimate Meaning with reassurance that the search itself can be a source of personal fulfillment, vibrant Community, and great joy.

Seeking the Hiding God is a part of the Ben Yehuda Press "Jewish Arguments" series, a collection of a variety of contemporary Jewish perspectives drawing from age-old Jewish wisdom.

A limited number of copies will be available for purchase during the event. The book can also be purchased in advance. Arnold Eisen will sign copies.
