Old Testament Stories from the Back Side: Bible Stories with a Twist, Paperback

Descriere

Using an approach similar to that in his book Parables from the Back Side, popular author J. Ellsworth Kalas brings a new perspective to selected Old Testament stories by approaching them from the ""back side""--through a unique starting point, a creative retelling, a new ""lens,"" or the eyes of a minor or unsympathetic character. Chapter titles and Scripture: ""The Second Sin"" (Genesis 3: 1-13); ""The Importance of Naming Joseph"" (Genesis 30: 22-24); ""Because My Mother Told Me"" (Exodus 2: 1-10); ""Moses' Midlife Crisis"" (Exodus 2: 11-22); ""Patron Saint of the Minority Report"" (Numbers 13: 1-3, 25-33); ""Tragic Son, Tragic Father"" (Judges 11: 1-6, 30-35); ""Honey in the Lion"" (Judges 14: 5-14); ""Beauty and the Beast"" (1 Samuel 25: 2-42); ""A Refugee at the King's Table"" (2 Samuel 9: 1-13); ""In Defense of Job's Wife"" (Job 2: 1-10); ""Jonah's Christmas Story"" (Jonah 3: 1-6, 10; Matthew 12: 38-42); ""God Is Better Than His Plans"" (Ruth 1: 1-5; 4: 13-17).
