Synopsis
When Bible Meets History invites you to accompany me on an adventurous detective trip to see what's verified in those first five books of the Bible; how actual history is cloaked in that ancient form of writing called Biblical Hebrew; and what it all means to a modern, critically-thinking mind. We mil explore the unresolved question of whether history is compatible with the patriarchal story or at odds with that story. We travel down the Bahr Yussef or Canal of Joseph to see first-hand how Joseph changed the prospects for agriculture in Egypt; then look for the Sea of Reeds where pharaoh's army drowned and come to Lake El Ballah, the lake "where God devoured," pan of a shallow saltwater system that Hebrews traversed and observe that wind and tide can expose land before rapidly reversing course. We look at the Tribe of Benjamin, or Ben Yamin - sons to the right along the Euphrates River - and discover an ancient tribe that once worshiped the moon before becoming Israelite; then visit what remains of Santorini Island, after the most violent volcano in tens of thousands of years blew the island apart, destroyed Crete, then delivered a blanket of ash that blocked the sun, polluted waters that chased frogs onto land, and saw swarms of flies on dead fish; then we dine on honey dew from the desert manna tree, the tamarisk, and quail (as did Moses) harvested from their annual migration across the desert. Through this detective work, we reveal history, Then we seek a reconciliation of actual chronology and scripture - nothing less than a translation of an ancient writing style into something that enhances our understanding of history and inspires our very sows. To do this, we look to what molded the Hebrew soul and why applying that experience to Torah so changed the world. Hence we travel back four millennia to a band of outcasts that made a living on the peripheries of monarchy, accepted escaped slaves, and disdained royal edicts. They figured out how to trade with tyrants and in doing so discovered that morality and moral laws work. They deduced that hundreds of gods do not add up to God, They developed stiff resistance to blather about idols and the natural rights of the powerful, and they chose Divine leadership in it all.
Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (23,831)
- j***2 (61)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchase☆☆☆ Seller. Is not the picture of actual recieved item. Listing photo was pulled from internet and used as placeholder, according to sellers listing. Thats on me for buying the cheapest one without looking at listing fully. Would have been better to not use another persons photo on seller's listing as the specific guide book advertised has reflective bits, the one i recieved did not.. At least it arrived and is decent enough to use and look at. Packed ok. Shipped promptly. Thank you.Pokemon Platinum Version: The Official Pokemon Guide (#396979033428)
- k***i (38)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseFantastic price, faster shipping than expected, item as described. However, packaging was a thin plastic envelope instead of bubble/ cardboard. Book arrived new yet slightly damaged. Not worth asking for a return due to the very low price, yet would suggest to seller/ future buyers to have better packaging for shipping. Thanks.
- e***u (4506)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseWell the stock photo was just that, a stock photo and the item did not include the other material shown, which I had asked about. A chance you take. Otherwise, in good shape, shipped promptly, plastic bag envelope (nothing wrong with that for the price, but subject to beatings by the PO dolts. Yes, i will still buy from them if the price is reasonable.
