You may find "The Disappearance of God" an interesting read. Sorry I can't remember the author's name.
The premise is similar to yours, and it draws its analysis from The Bible, the progression of literature, and modern physics, among other things.
Along the Bible it outlines how in the beginning God was a very personal God, he actually walked in the garden with Adam and Eve. As the Bible progresses, however, he only talks to a few prophets, Moses and the like, only later to further distancing himself by speaking through things: miracles, visions, etc. Only to eventually disappear entirely. He comes back in the form of his Son, but God, himself, is still no where to be found.
In the history of literature Nietzsche isn't the only person to pen God's obituary, Dostevsky and others wrote similar descriptions independently of each other, and almost simultaneously.
In the progression of physics, with an emphasis on Hawkin's theories, God eventually becomes the shimmering face of existence.
I think it then goes on to talk about the kaballah, I can't remember, but it's a good read.
