Ideal for beginning students and readers of all faiths or none,
"The Original Story" is a comprehensive and lively guide to the
Hebrew Bible. This richly informative volume provides a complete
introduction to Old Testament history, archaeology, geography, and
textual interpretation -- all at an accessible level. The core of
the book explores central biblical themes, including the character
of God, the human condition, ethics, human suffering, and God's
relationship with the people of Israel. The authors further
consider various topics such as prophecy, law, and worship in the
Old Testament.
The very readable text is complemented throughout by sidebars,
fact boxes, maps, and illustrations. All features considered, "The
Original Story" is one of the best guidebooks to the Hebrew Bible
now available.
