{"product_id":"9780241952320-secondhand-silence-a-christian-history","title":"Silence: A Christian History","description":"Silence shows the history of Christianity in a fresh and fascinating new light.\n\n\nThis 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's brief ministry. Besides prayer and contemplation, there are shame and evasion; careless and purposeful forgetting.\nMany 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.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50555709128923,"sku":"9780241952320-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/bee79884-a911-4159-9f9d-8f2aca53c740.jpg?v=1790951899","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780241952320-secondhand-silence-a-christian-history","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
