Is the Bible true Was the Garden of Eden a real place that can be found on a map Was there a Flood Did a Hebrew man rise to great power in Egypt Were the Israelites slaves in Egypt Did they escape from bondage and were they saved from the pursuing Egyptians Did the prophets correctly predict many of the major events in Israelite history Were Elijah and Elisha agents in a great assassination plot Did Amos become famous because of an accurate forecast In thinking about the questions of biblical factuality some embrace a rigid skepticism and are quick to dismiss the accuracy of the biblical narratives without weighing the evidence They are content to read the Bible for its metaphorical and literary truths forgetting that the Bible is based on the history of an ancient people Fundamentalists on the other hand have the strong desire to find hard proof that the biblical facts are facts only to be disappointed and frustrated But is it reasonable to expect such proof Archaeology and comparative texts must be examined for what they realistically can be asked to provide In a series of readable essays written in an engaging manner and a positive mode author Benjamin Edidin Scolnic evaluates the biblical texts in the light of all the information we possess at this time Scolnic asks the reader to join the ongoing dialogue between faith and history by carefully reviewing the textual and material evidence with an open mind He does not so much seek to prove or disprove the Bible but rather attempts to find middle ground through the exploration of its historical dimension

Through countless retellings from the Talmud to Archibald MacLeish and since the story of Job has become a fixture in the cultural imagination of the West In this study Susan E Schreiner analyzes interpretations of the Book of Job by Gregory the Great Maimonides Thomas Aquinas and particularly John Calvin Reading Calvins interpretation of Job against the background of his most important medieval predecessors Schreiner shows how central Job is to Calvins struggles with issues of creation the problem of evil the meaning of history and the doctrine of providence For Calvin and his predecessors Schreiner argues the concept of intellectual perception is the key to an understanding of Job The texts she examines constantly raise questions about the human capacity for knowledge What can the sufferer who stands within history perceive about the self God and reality Can humans truly perceive the workings of providence in their personal lives or in the tumult of history Are evil and injustice a reality that we must confront before finding wisdom In her final chapter Schreiner turns to the wide array of twentiethcentury interpretations of Job including modern biblical commentaries the work of Carl Jung and literary transfigurations by Wells MacLeish Wiesel and Kafka The result is a compelling demonstration of how the history of exegesis can yield vital insights for contemporary culture
