"In the light of Dutch minimalism the ordinary reader, like myself, just takes these conflicts in stride and adopts whatever seems like a plausible interpretation."
"I can think of no better work for anyone (not only Jews) to understand why the first five books of the Bible have long been revered as a source of wisdom and a code of ethics."
"Dr. Friedman provides a whole new translation of the Torah (the first five books of what Christians call the Old Testament) and adds commentary that points out word play, puns, and historical references that would be completely lost to those of us who can't read Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek."
"Every year, as a Christian preacher, I like to go through the Torah with commentary from Jewish sources."
"The Hebrew is in such tiny print I can't read it."
"This is another book where the Kindle edition is so bad that I must return it."
This eight-session ZondervanGroupware™ uses video and group discussion to explore the sometimes shocking and cryptic writings of the Old Testament to help readers know God better. Yancey serves as guide and interpretive leader of each session and, in a series of in-depth interviews and explanations, he covers five crucial segments of the Old Testament: * Job * Deuteronomy * Psalms * Ecclesiastes * The Prophets. Philip Yancey, editor at large and columnist for Christianity Today , follows up his back-to-back bestselling books, What's So Amazing About Grace and The Jesus I Never Knew , with The Bible Jesus Read , an exploration of the significance of the Old Testament to today's Christian. Given previous book titles-- Where Is God When It Hurts , Disappointment with God , and The Gift of Pain --one might jokingly suggest that in the Old Testament Yancey has found his true home. In The Bible Jesus Read, Yancey encourages readers to consider how Hebrew ScriptureAwhat Christians call the Old TestamentAis relevant to their own lives. His premise is that although many Christians tacitly consider the New Testament more important than the Old, the New Testament was written after Jesus' earthly ministry, making the Old Testament "the Bible Jesus read."
