Reclusive Deity Hasn't Written A New Book In 2,000 Years [View all]
NEW YORKLeading writers, scholars, and publishers gathered this week at Fordham University for a literary conference and panel discussion on God, the widely praised but reclusive deity who has not published a book since His landmark debut 2,000 years ago.
Hailed by critics as one of the most important authors in recent millennia, the eccentric divinity is said to have long ago retreated from the public eye, eschewing a life of celebrity for one of solitude and quiet. To this day, experts confirmed, His artistic reputation rests exclusively upon His bestselling and highly acclaimed first work, the Bible.
God has granted no interviews, made no public appearances, and kept entirely to Himself for what seems like ages, and yet its fair to say that no other author has been quite so influential, said noted critic and conference attendee James Wood, observing that while the fiercely private immortal being has only one book to His credit, He remains among the worlds most respected and quoted writers. For many readers, Gods writing had a transformative impact on their lives, and countless people list His book among their favorite titles. But for reasons that we can only speculate about, God has chosen to stay out of the limelight and let His words speak for themselves. Perhaps it is Gods retreat into His own world that allowed Him to render His vision so vividly on the page.
Its also possible that, with the first book, He simply said everything He had to say, Wood continued. Though one would think a writer of such impressive knowledge and power would never lack for inspiration.
