PRODUCT INFORMATION
Description
The Bible's ancient history includes some short tales that often seem very odd, even bizarre, to the modern reader. Curious Stories from the Bible is about thirty of these accounts. Author Robert Simms uncovers the meaning of these stories, both in their original setting and for the modern, Christian reader. Using various translations for clarity, Simms exposes the text using a sparing amount of technical language, Hebrew, and Greek. Then he offers lessons that can be derived from the stories. The result is a book that's useful for both ministers and average church members-and anyone else curious about the Bible.
