About this ebook
The Silence of God (1897) has become a classic on the subject of why God has not directly intervened in the affairs of men for the past two thousand years. Here's how Anderson puts the question he addresses:
"And to not a few this volume may be welcome as affording a clue to pressing difficulties which perplex and distress the thoughtful. Infidelity trades upon the silence of Heaven, the inaction of the Supreme. If there be a God, almighty and all-good, why does He not use His power and give proof of His goodness in the way men choose to expect of Him? The answer usually offered by the Christian apologist fails either to silence the opponent or to satisfy the believer. And rightly so, for it is lacking not only in cogency but in sympathy. The God of the Bible is infinite both in power and in compassion; and in other ages His people had public proof of this. Why, then, is He so silent?"

On one hand,God may indeed be silent as not doing the signs and wonders He did in Israel up to the few mentioned miracles of Paul as the gospel given to Paul went foward and the Gospel of the coming Kingdom was put on hold untill the fullness of the Body of Christ and rapture. But,God no longer speaks or performs incredible things from Heaven and here? God is NEVER silent. But due to the coming and forfilling of things mentioned in both Daniel and Revelation,we are not to look for them. That does not mean we are not to accept and believe in the Faith! Faith pleases God. Never forget that for a second. Miracles being performed now,in 2025,are souls being saved and the Gospel of grace performing through us,the Body of Christ. The time spent reading books like this,no matter how good or not,could be better spent in the Word of God.
