The Bible, Its Author, and the People Within will not only challenge you to take a good hard look at the things you've learned throughout your Christian walk, but will also teach you how to read the Bible. It will then introduce you to the God of creation as well as many of the traditions, customs, and practices of the people dwelling within the ancient world. The subject matter covered within these pages includes Israel's religious festivals; the betrothal and wedding ceremony; the bearing, rearing, and education of children; the various occupations of the day; the mourning, preparation, and burial of the dead, as well as the hereafter. Now you may be thinking: Is this book something I should take the time to read? Well, that depends. If you're someone who's willing to have your presuppositions and dearly held traditions challenged by God's Word, you should read it. If you're someone who's willing to deviate from the beaten path and follow the text of Scripture wherever it leads, you should read it. If you're someone who's willing to consider a perspective other than your own, then yes, you should read it. If not, then quite frankly, you shouldn't. Whether you're a thirty-year-veteran of the faith or a believer of only a few hours, this book can greatly benefit you if you're willing to first read it and then further investigate its claims. Generally speaking, the way you interact with life depends on your perception of the world around you. And as they say, perception is reality. But the problem with that is that a westerner's reality is not the reality of the easterner. As a student of God's Word, the only way you can benefit from what you read is to consider the culture, the rituals, the customs, the traditions, and the practices of those living within the biblical world. Unfortunately, more often than not, this is the exception to the rule. As westerners, our tendency is to impose our worldview on to the text of Scripture. This book will afford you the opportunity to get into the minds of the biblical writers.While this book deals with some of the most common religious and social practices of the Israelites, Building a Framework, the second book, focuses on the establishment of a divine council, the history of creation, the sin of the Watchers, the birth of the giants, Noah's flood, the disinheriting of the inhabitants of the earth, the calling of Abram, the planting of Israel's heavens and earth along with their history, the ministry of Christ, the reclaiming of the nations, and the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in A.D. 70. The third book in this series, Digging Deeper, utilizes a handful of principles needed to accurately interpret the Scriptures.This series of books is very easy to read. These books are written in such a way that you should have no difficulty understanding the message conveyed. Although there are several theological terms sprinkled throughout these works, they are thoroughly explained for a better understanding of the Bible's meaning. Additionally, the majority of the biblical passages utilized within these books are written out for your convenience. The reason for this is simple. First of all, it minimizes the need for having to stop and look up each citation. But more importantly, it presents a biblical case for the assertions and conclusions drawn within each book. I have, to the best of my ability, searched God's Word for the truth. If you find what I have found, then build on it and share it with others. Assume nothing. You have the responsibility to study the Scriptures for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
