Produktbeschreibung

The Jews divided their sacred writ into three sections-the Torah and Histories; the Prophecies; and the Writings. This book is about the writings-Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Ruth, Esther, Jonah, and Daniel. Their content constitutes in a special way God's Word for our times. This is a companion to one's reading of the Bible. For each book there is an introduction, a section on "history and setting"; then, "Looking at the Text," "Eternal Truths in this book," and "Golden Texts. "Eternal Truths" are essential contributions made in this book to our contemporary idiom and theological situation, especially in American culture
