The Bible as History

Werner Keller

Imagine embarking on a captivating journey through the Bible, not as a religious text, but as a historical chronicle. This is the invitation extended by Werner Keller's renowned book, "The Bible as History." Published in 1955, it delves into the fascinating intersection of archaeological discoveries and biblical narratives, painting a vivid picture of the ancient world inhabited by prophets, kings, and everyday people.Keller, a German journalist with a keen eye for detail, masterfully guides readers through three distinct sections. Part I sets the stage, introducing the land of Israel and its inhabitants throughout history. We encounter bustling cities, towering monuments, and the ebb and flow of empires that left their mark on the region.Part II embarks on a thrilling exploration of biblical beginnings. From the creation story to the epic Exodus, Keller meticulously examines archaeological evidence that sheds light on these foundational narratives. He deciphers ancient inscriptions, analyzes unearthed artifacts, and compares biblical descriptions to historical records, piecing together a compelling tapestry of the past.The final section, Part III, traces the captivating journey from Moses to Jesus. We witness the rise and fall of kingdoms, the evolution of religious practices, and the emergence of pivotal figures who shaped the course of history. Keller's meticulous research illuminates the social, political, and cultural context of the New Testament, offering fresh perspectives on familiar stories."The Bible as History" is not without its critiques. Some scholars challenge Keller's interpretations, urging a more cautious approach to reconciling faith and historical analysis. However, the book's undeniable strength lies in its ability to ignite curiosity and spark meaningful conversations about the Bible's place in the grand narrative of human history.

Perfect Priest for Weary...

Dennis E. Johnson

An Introduction to the Biblical Theology of Hebrews
The book of Hebrews can be intimidating for modern-day Christians due to its connection to Old Testament text. However, once understood, this New Testament epistle offers great insights into the superiority and sufficiency of Jesus—rightly justifying his place as high priest. 
In this addition to the New Testament Theology series, scholar Dennis E. Johnson highlights the main biblical-theological themes of Hebrews. Johnson explores how Jesus fulfills perfect priesthood by becoming the covenant mediator and the trailblazer who leads his people into a better inheritance. Hebrews calls Christian believers, both of the early church and today, to hold fast to their faith even when faced with persecution and exclusion. It reminds us to cling to the eternal Son who offered his body and blood as the everlasting sacrifice for our sin.

- Ideal for Anyone Wanting to Study the Bible More Deeply: Perfect for pastors, seminarians, college students, and laypeople
- Helpful Bible Study Resource: A great companion to commentaries on Hebrews 
- Part of the New Testament Theology Series: Other volumes include Ministry in the New Realm and Hidden with Christ in God
