Problem: What does this mean? "How can historical explanation come to an arbitrary halt in order to accept the Inexplicable-the presence of God? God, it seems, must be expelled from history by the modern historian, just as He is expelled from nature by the .modern scientist. And the modern Jewish and Christian theologian cannot affirm God's presence in history but at most only His providence over it-a providence caused by a God who may somehow use nature and man in history, but who is Himself absent from history."
