Even with a PhD from Fuller Seminary and her status as one of the few Asian female scholars in her discipline, Chloe Sun still considers herself as someone who operates in the margins of a dominant culture in which she often feels invisible and hidden. In her book, Conspicuous in His Absence: Studies in the Song of Songs and Esther, Chloe examines a combination of biblical texts that are rarely studied together but which share a common characteristic: God is absent in both. As she illuminates what we can learn about God through his absence, Chloe also makes it clear through her work and her words that those on the margins have much to say and offer even though they are often absent from the center of the church and the academy.
