Behind the Bible’s Greatest Stories
Exploring the Culture, Context, and History of Famous Stories
About this book
In Behind the Bible's Greatest Stories, Dr. Paul Wright takes you behind the scenes, uncovering the ancient cultures and historical geography that frame the most memorable stories in the Bible. Posing rarely asked questions about these popular Old Testament stories, you'll move beyond the typical Sunday school answers and into the fascinating world of the Bible.
This deep dive into the text of Scripture reveals that our beloved Bible stories are not quite as simple as they may seem. Their plots are intricate, their settings are meaningful, and the motives of their heroes and villains are complicated and often conflicted.
Includes: Noah's ark, Joseph in Egypt, Moses and the Exodus, Jonah and the whale, the story of Ruth, Queen Esther, and David versus Goliath. Each chapter features maps, photos, and discussion questions, making this book ideal for teaching, Bible study groups, and individual learning.
