This narrative pattern in which God withdraws from direct involvement in the realm of human activity within the entire Hebrew Bible has been examined Divine silence in the music of emmylou harris 31 more specifically by Richard Elliott Friedman in The Disappearance of God: A Divine Mystery. Friedman points to the invisibility of God in the later narrative books of the Bible, such as Ezra and Esther (1995, 9–13). This is not necessarily a negative quality for Friedman. Among other things, the withdrawal of God from the human sphere may display “divine parental wisdom” and represent a “rich source of interpretation” (114).

Reception history, too, collects interpretations and renderings of biblical literature, but unlike Kugel’s work, reception historians do not confine themselves to scriptural commentary. Rather, as Luz notes, The study of reception history includes non-scholarly interpretations of the Bible in prayers, hymns and all kinds of pious literature. It includes also literature: poems, novels etc.
