The Bold Testament: Beginner's Guide To The Hebrew Bible (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781916626782)

The Old Testament is the most ancient and controversial collection of literature that remains popular today. Politicians use it to create and enforce laws. Rabbis, priests, and pastors reference it as a primary source to connect with God. Philosophers and psychologists spend hours musing over how this Iron Age document has shaped modern Western culture. Atheists study its content for evidence against those who believe it is divine revelation.

This book is a detailed encounter with these famous-or infamous-ancient writings that are most well-known under the title "Old Testament." It covers the subject of the Hebrew Bible in three areas: modern worldview, historical setting, and narrative content. The author is a Christian with a BA degree in Biblical Studies and 16 years of experience as both a writer and a Bible teacher. Keeping an open mind, he invites people of all backgrounds and faiths on a journey through this world-transforming text.
