How To Read The Jewish Bible, authored by biblical scholar, and professor, Marc Zvi Brettler, is an enlightening text, guiding people on how to read the Hebrew scriptures in a more purposeful way. Brettler reveals that this book provides a response to the frustration many readers hold with the Hebrew Bible, based on the accustomed tendency to filter it through the lens of present day culture. Generally, he argues, as a result this leads one to either misconstrue passages, or the arrive to the…

Creationists hold the belief that the Bible has complete authority, and that the Bible is entirely accurate (“Evolution”, 1999). Therefore, any information that is presented in the Bible must hold true, including historical information and the words of God. Also, the words of the Bible should be valued above all other words. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 proves that the Bible is without error. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 states, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and…

and feet being pierced because that was a common practice done to criminals at the time. There are more concrete prophesies in the bible about Jesus then the ones that we studied this week.

Sherry, You wrote some good information on your DB post on the Bible and it’s prophecy. I would like to start off saying the Bible contains various types of prophecies. Prophecies that comes to pass in a single generation can be true, but many not constitute proof to a later generation. A funny thing happens when the Bible is believed. Growing up, I would hear about how in history people thought the world was coming to an end, time after time. I would see on television numbers of preachers who…

Canaan, a small piece of land barely larger than the state of New Jersey, has been fought over for thousands of years. What made this tiny strip of land so valuable was its military strategic value, for it was the gateway to the continents of Asia and Africa. Not only that, whoever controlled Canaan also had control of the lucrative trade routes that crisscrossed the terrain, making the land of Canaan a vital land bridge for crossing armies and goods.

I enjoyed the book because it gives gripping and…
