The intent of this book is to bring about awareness and restore a
biblical identity to a people who are the only people in the
history of mankind whose identity the world has concealed It is
time to challenge the assigned meaning of the word "NEEG'-ER" for
two reasons: 1) It has been used to place a particular people in a
singular distinct classification as the only people on the planet
with a given identity that is false, and 2) It has been used as a
weapon in the pseudo speciation, demoralization, stigmatization,
and dehumanization of a people. It is through the bible that these
questions finally find answers and relief. Those who contrived to
cover up its meaning meant it for evil, but YAHWEH has turned it
into something good.
As the Roman-appointed high priest who had a hand in orchestrating
Jesus' crucifixion, Caiaphas secured his place in infamy alongside
Pontius Pilate. But who was Caiaphas really? Adele Reinhartz offers
a thorough reconsideration of Caiaphas in the Gospels and other
ancient texts as well as in subsequent visual arts, literature,
film, and drama. The portrait that emerges challenges long-held
beliefs about this New Testament figure by examining the background
of the high priesthood and exploring the relationships among the
high priest, the Roman leadership, and the Jewish population.
Reinhartz does not seek to exonerate Caiaphas from culpability in
the crucifixion, but she does expand our understanding of
Caiaphas's complex religious and political roles in biblical
literature and his culturally loaded depiction in ongoing
Jewish-Christian dialogue.

More people read the Bible than any other book. Indeed, many try to
live their lives according to its words. The question is, do they
understand what they're reading? As Steven McKenzie shows in this
provocative book, quite often the answer is, "No." McKenzie argues
that to comprehend the Bible we must grasp the intentions of the
biblical authors themselves-what sort of texts they thought they
were writing and how they would have been understood by their
intended audience. In short, we must recognize the genres to which
these texts belong. McKenzie examines several genres that are
typically misunderstood, offering careful readings of specific
texts to show how the confusion arises, and how knowing the genre
produces a correct reading. The book of Jonah, for example, offers
many clues that it is meant as a humorous satire, not a
straight-faced historical account of a man who was swallowed by a
fish. Likewise, McKenzie explains that the very names "Adam" and
"Eve" tell us that these are not historical characters, but figures
who symbolize human origins ("Adam" means man, "Eve" is related to
the word for life). Similarly, the authors of apocalyptic
texts-including the Book of Revelation-were writing allegories of
events that were happening in their own time. Not for a moment
could they imagine that centuries afterwards, readers would be
poring over their works for clues to the date of the Second Coming
of Christ, or when and how the world would end. For anyone who
takes reading the Bible seriously and who wants to get it right,
this book will be both heartening and enlightening.
