For those seeking deeper faith and understanding.

"Silence" reveals hidden truths in Christian history.

You will find hope in God's silence and your journey.

Discover the profound insights of Diarmaid MacCulloch as he explores the hidden silences in Christianity and offers hope for those seeking God amidst uncertainty.

This book unravels a polyphony of silences from the history of Christianity and beyond. MacCulloch considers Judaeo-Christian borrowings from Greek explorations of the divine, and the silences which were a feature of Jesus' brief ministry. Besides prayer and contemplation, there are shame and evasion; careless and purposeful forgetting. Many deliberate silences are revealed: the forgetting of histories inconvenient to later Church authorities, and Christianity's problems in dealing honestly with sexuality. Behind all this is the silence of God. In a deeply personal conclusion, MacCulloch brings a message of optimism for those still seeking God beyond the clamour of over-confident certainties.
