So you think you know what God is like? Taking a fresh look at Bible passages he thought he knew inside out, Krish Kandiah was struck by the uncomfortable recognition that when God turns up he seems to be much more likely to startle or frighten us - even start a fight on a dark night - than to sit down for a cosy chat. This God seems like a stranger. The one certainty seems to be that he is not like us. Wrestling with the stories of Bible characters like Abraham and Jacob, Gideon and Ezekiel, the criminal on the cross and the Emmaus disciples, Krish uncovers the truth of a God whose very unpredictability, his challenging strangeness, is the strongest indication of his real presence.
