Alexander Whyte's classic biographies of Biblical characters are accurate and spiritually respectful - this volume begins with Adam and concludes with Achan.
The author uses depictions and quotations from classical literature together with the Old Testament to describe each character of the Bible. His own professional experience as a minister working in Free Church of Scotland, and the theological study which underpinned his education, allow Whyte to maintain accurate and canonical depictions. The characters are chronologically arranged by their appearance, beginning with the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible and one rich with characters and their roles in mankind's early history.
Individual chapters and verses from the Bible are explained with a finesse stemming from Whyte's longtime role as an educator. By the time this work was published in 1896, the author had decades of experience in education, recounting the lives of Biblical figures to parishioners and students of Christianity. Readers can thus expect a thorough and informative account of Old Testament characters, their deeds and place in the sequence of events.

This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!

Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
