The Message of Numbers
Journey to the Promised Land
Raymond Brown
Ăber dieses Buch
Numbers is one of the "lost" books of the Bibleâlost because it is neglected by many Christians. Named for its two "numberings, " or censuses, of Israelâthe generation that left Egypt and the generation that entered the land of promiseâNumbers frames a fascinating account of the pilgrim people Israel learning to trust God. Readers are frequently puzzled by the dazzling variety of literature that makes up this book and wonder how to make sense of the whole. But in this thorough exposition of Numbers, Raymond Brown discloses the careful design and message of Numbers. He shows how God provides for the basic needs of the ideal life: to be loved, to be free, to be certain. Further, Brown highlights the rich theological themes of Numbers, untangles its meaning for today's readers and shows its enduring relevance for God's people.
