Those books!

DORIS S. SCHWARTZ

To many people, God is a mystery, the great Unknown. Although called supremely good and loving, He is supposed to mete out life and death, good and evil, testing human intelligence and will by forcing us to choose between the very opposites He is credited with creating or allowing.

Paul noted this belief in a mysterious God among the men of Athens. Addressing them on Mars' Hill, he said: "I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you." Acts 17:22, 23.
