The Promised Land

Brian A Curtis

Paperback 2013-10-22

The Promised Land recognizes that the Bible is not always the easiest book to read. Indeed, the culture and practices of biblical times, and the way the books of the Bible are presented can be real stumbling blocks to reading and understanding its message.

As a consequence, this first instalment of "A 21st Century Bible" presents the Bible in a logical, historical order. It is based on the Hebrew Scriptures, but is supplemented by additional comments interwoven into the text to enhance the readability and understanding of both the narrative and the laws.

The Promised Land covers the period from Abraham to Joshua, and is divided into two parts for easier reading: A. Narrative; and B. YHWH's Laws.

Publisher Description

Who has tried to read the Hebrew scriptures from cover to cover and fallen short at one of the many hurdles? Who really understands them? This book takes the reader on a journey from Abraham to Joshua and deals with these very issues.

Based on the complete Hebrew text, the narrative is presented in a more logical historical order, dealing appropriately with many of the obstacles. At the same time, YHWH's laws are treated with the seriousness that they deserve.

Additional comments in italics are interwoven into the text to enhance the readability and understanding of both the narrative and the laws.
