Looking is not seeing, and seeing God         is not like seeing an apple. It is much more like making a         medical diagnosis on the basis of looking at a complex set of         symptoms. Each of the symptoms is a dot. We can look at the         dots and still miss the pattern.”\u003cbr\u003e—from         Part I\u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp\u003eThe Torah is replete with references to         hearing God but precious few references to seeing God. Seeing         is complicated. What we look for and see are traces of         God’s presence in the world and in history, but not God.         In order to identify those traces as reflections of divine         presence, we need to re-examine how we see, what we see, and         how we interpret that information.\u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp\u003eIn this challenging and inspiring look at         the dynamics of the religious experience, award-winning author         and theologian Neil Gillman guides you into a new way of seeing         the complex patterns in the Bible, history, and everyday         experiences and helps you interpret what those patterns mean to         you and your relationship with God.\u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp\u003eExamining faith and doubt, revelation and         law, suffering and redemption, Gillman candidly deconstructs         familiar biblical moments in order to help you develop and         refine your own spiritual vision, so that you are able to         discern the presence of God in unanticipated ways.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111998865648,"sku":"9781580235792","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781580235792_p0.jpg?v=1763801636","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781580235792","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
