Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a common-sense approach to the Old Testament, gracefully guiding the reader through its wisdom. The author points out that the Bible's two main sections are two distinct books with separate authorities for Jews and Christians. While discussing the Old Testament, the author points out several other notable ancient Jewish books not included in the Bible, and acknowledges the literary techniques used in composing the Old Testament's individual books. Noting the imperfections of the translation and preservation of the original texts over time, the author chooses to examine the books of the Old Testament individually, beginning with the foundational Pentateuch, to determine their historical, literary, and doctrinal value. As the author leads the reader into the first five books of the Old Testament, the Pentateuch, the continuity and contradictions between certain biblical passages are discussed alongside the traditions and genealogies presented within. This thoughtful guide to the Old Testament is a valuable tool for both casual readers and serious students of the Bible. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
