Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it that the Bible contains the lives of so many bad men? is a question which is often asked, and as often answered. And yet the inquiry continues to be made by every successive generation, with as much earnestness as if nobody had ever thought of it before. The very Bible itself settles the question. Paul says, in the tenth chapter of his first Epistle to the Corinthians, that all these things "are written for our admonition." Do we not require to be admonished, day by day, every one of us? Is it not useful to us to see, in the lives of such men as Cain, and Saul, and Ahab, and Judas, the dreadful sight, and only tell us of their excellences? Why, some of the very men just named, had many faults, as is now well known; probably all of them. But these are generally kept out of sight, and we are shown only the bright side of things.

Download or read book Veiling Esther Unveiling Her Story written by Adam J. Silverstein and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veiling Esther, Unveiling Her Story: The Reception of a Biblical Book in Islamic Lands examines the ways in which the Biblical Book of Esther was read, understood, and used in Muslim lands, from ancient to modern times. It focuses on case studies covering works from various periods andregions of the Muslim world, including the Qur'an, pre-modern historical chronicles and literary works, the writings of a nineteenth-century Shia feminist, a twentieth-century Iranian encyclopaedia, and others. These case studies demonstrate that Muslim sources contain valuable materials on Esther,which shed light both on the Esther story itself and on the Muslim peoples and cultures that received it. Adam J. Silverstein argues that Muslim sources preserve important pre-Islamic materials on Esther that have not survived elsewhere, some of which offer answers to ancient questions about Esther, such as the meaning of Haman's epithet in the Greek versions of the story, the reason why Mordecairefused to prostrate before Haman, and the literary context of the 'plot of the eunuchs' to kill the Persian king. Throughout the book, Silverstein shows how each author's cultural and religious background influenced his or her understanding and retelling of the Esther story. In particular, hehighlights that Persian Muslims (and Jews) were often forced to reconcile or choose between the conflicting historical narratives provided by their religious and cultural heritages respectively.

Download or read book Heirs of Abraham written by Barbara Johnson Witcher and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than ever before, today's news brings Middle Eastern wars into our homes as the animosity between the Arab world and Israel escalates. "Will they ever have peace?" everyone asks. Attempting to answer that question, "Heirs of Abraham" is a historical family saga stretching over a time span of almost four thousand years. It follows the lives of the Biblical nomad Abraham, who is the foundation of the world's three great religions-Islam, Judaism, and, indirectly, Christianity-and his two sons. There is Ishmael, born of an Egyptian slave whose descendants are today's Arabs. And there is Isaac, son of Abraham's beloved wife and the Jews' patriarch. Set against the backdrops of Ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Israel-of wars and famines, goat-haired tents and kings' palaces-this is a saga of real people whose actions will have an everlasting effect on all future generations and worlds. First, there is Abraham, who struggles with faith, power, love and cowardice. There are his women-Sarah, the wife, and Hagar, the slave-whose jealous love for him and hatred of each other never die. Finally, there are the two brothers who have been pitted against each other for thousands of years in the age-old battle for the land now known as the State of Israel. Yet most of all, "Heirs of Abraham," faithfully following the Holy Bible's accounting in Genesis, is a dramatic reminder of God's love for all people.
Download or read book The Consuming Fire Hebrew Edition written by Liane M. Feldman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embedded within the Bible lies a largely unknown story of the founding of early Israel and its religion, interwoven with tales documenting the creation of the Torah. Known as the Priestly Source, the complete text has not appeared on its own in either Hebrew or English--until now. This edition contains for the first time the full biblical Hebrew along with a new translation, annotated to guide readers through the text. This translation by Liane M. Feldman, an authority on the text, reveals the mythical foundation for the practice of sacrifice in ancient Israelite and Jewish religion. Beginning with the creation of the world and ending at the edge of the Promised Land, the Priestly Source offers a distinctive account from over two thousand years ago of the origins of the people of Israel and a unique perspective on their relationship with their god, Yahweh--one in stark contrast to what is found when we read the Bible now.
