Summary
One of the most noted differences between the Old and New Testaments is God, or at least, what God is. While the Gospels and subsequent text painted God as the Father, the Old Testament's depiction was far more moody. THE GOD OF OLD, from Harvard professor Kugel, here walks readers through the God of the Israelites, breaking down "personality traits," and placement in the universe, revealing a God perhaps far closer to the people than we know now.

A portrait of God as envisioned by early Israelites describes him as an accessible inhabitant of a parallel spiritual world who was human-like in appearance and who often made himself known to people.
