520 1 $a"With scholarly passion and imaginative insight, Dr. Yochanan Muffs illuminates the ever-changing face of God and reveals our own mechanisms for preserving our faith, nourishing our souls and ensuring that we flourish. In this compelling work, Dr. Muffs calls for a remythologizing (not a demythologizing) of our theology - one that allows us to delight in the personhood and mythic character of God as poetically formulated models of our own humanity."--BOOK JACKET.
