BRF (The Bible Reading Fellowship) Image Of The Invisible : Finding God In Scriptural Metaphor

When you hear the name ‘God’, does an image come into your head?Do you think of him as a shining light, or with a human shape, or as an anchor in the storm, a rock, a fortress?As we look towards celebrating the incarnation at Christmas, we consider how God chose to express himself, in a moment in history, as a tiny baby.But what other images describe God in the Bible, and what can we learn about his character through them?How does an invisible God reveal himself to us in scripture and in Jesus?Amy Scott Robinson, a poet and storyteller, answers this question with imagination and a close reading of the text.
