Remarkably readable, this inspiring work explores three interlinking mysteries: the amazing fact that in the Bible God gradually becomes more hidden; the eerie connection between Nietzsche and Dostoevsky, who arrived at the idea of "the death of God" almost concurrently — but independent of one another; and the extraordinary cosmic parallel between the big bang theory and the mystlcism of the Kabbalah.
