For many nonbelievers, it is pure nonsense, a work of bronze-age mythology that encourages tribalistic bloodshed. For many Christians, it is a literal account of the world, a work of divine dictation recalling what transpired long ago. And for many theologians, it is a historical puzzle, a collection of works best understood through the intentions of its human authors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this groundbreaking book--the first of two volumes--Bishop Robert Barron offers a new way of understanding the Old Testament rooted in the writings of the Church Fathers. Journeying steadily through the Pentateuch, the historical writings, and the biblical novellas, \u003ci\u003eThe Great Story of Israel\u003c\/i\u003e offers an invigorating theological and spiritual interpretation of these ancient texts, one that draws together the particular concerns of their human authors and the unique purpose of the Holy Spirit. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The parts and the whole, the Old and the New, and doctrine and exegesis all come together in this dramatic story of election, freedom, and holiness--a story read in the light of Christ, the glory of his people Israel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Barron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1685780199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781685780197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Word on Fire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Robert Barron","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44133714002175,"sku":"9781685780197","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26d9e44e-cb5a-4740-823c-646a13a037cb.jpg?v=1687487789","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-story-of-israel-robert-baron-9781685780197","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
