God, where are you?' This is the fundamental question humankind has been asking since Creation. Of course, it is the Lord within us who really poses this question, and if we are serious about searching for an answer, we will discover that he is already looking for us. As our God is the God of those who preceded us, the God of our fathers, we cannot get to know him without taking into account the words he spoke to those who have gone before. The story of God is above all a story of his relationship with humankind. Enzo Bianchi offers a clear analysis of many encounters between the Lord and some of the most significant figures in the Old Testament, encounters that have shaped Jewish - and thus Christian - culture and spirituality over the centuries.
