The Silence of God

Where is God today? How can he allow evil and suffering in the world? Have miracles ceased? Sir Robert Anderson, one of the most popular lay preachers at the turn of the 20th century, devoutly believed that the Bible was the inerrant word of God, and in this classic of Christian apologetics, first published in 1907, he attempts to answer these conundrums for the faithful through appeal to Scripture. Seekers after spiritual succor will find comfort in Anderson's arguments, while anyone interested in the rise of fundamentalist Christianity in the 21st century will find a fascinating illustration of the movement's beliefs. While at Scotland Yard, Irish police official and religious scholar SIR ROBERT ANDERSON (1841-1918) helped investigate the Jack the Ripper murders, but he is best remembered for his works of Bible study, including Forgotten Truths, Daniel in the Critics' Den, and The Coming Prince.
