A Secular Bible Study (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781777168506)

Explore the Bible from a secular, agnostic viewpoint. Learn about how the beliefs of the ancient Israelites and Judeans changed as their kingdoms faced attack from the Assyrians and Babylonians. During the time of the Persian empire they had another opportunity to define themselves religiously as a community with a temple but no monarchy. Ancient prophecies were interpreted in new light as times passed and circumstances changed.
