ABSTRACT
I raise without delay the question evoked by the title of part II of this book: How could it ever be possible to tell the story-or even a storyof God? After all, God is God, and human beings are human beings. On the other hand, while a horse is a horse, and a human is a human, we can readily provide much of the life story of a horse (or, for that matter, of a tree or even of a building, though not their inner story). In the case of a horse we may observe the ongoing behavior and fortunes of the poor creature. Yet there is no way to observe directly, or even obliquely, the behavior of God-on the assumption that God does “behave.”
