Finally, a Translation Both Poetic & Scholarly
This final translation of the Inclusive Bible series by the Quixote Center's scriptural scholars is the best of the lot. Much has changed in the 17 years since the project began translating the bible, starting with accepted Christian midrash for the Inclusive New Testament. This fourth and final volume relies on Greek and Aramaic texts and places the canon in historic and cultural perspective. Not strictly nonsexist, as the bible inescapably reflects the misogyny of the cultures, this newtranslation makes it possible for believers and skeptics to encounter these scriptures as beautiful, vivid and still-alive literature. The prophets understood God as beyond definition--with elements of the male and the female. Their dreams and predictions speak to us today in our own culture and time. ... Read more

Difficult, and boring to read
First off, the author needs help with the queen's english, especially grammer.He uses such phrases as:..during his reigned......to solved the many problems....a land that was laid wasted, and many more.
Exploiting Sitchin's Seminal Work
This book contains NO footnotes, NO bibliography and only 6 pages of narrative.The remaining 190 pages consist solely of unsuppported kings' lists, with undocumented comments inserted. This book can best be characterized as the anti-Sitchin; ill-written, illiterate and ill advised. An at times iconoclastic historical chronology
Ably written by lifelong student of Sumerian history Neil Zimmerer, The Chronology Of Genesis: A Complete History Of The Nefilim deftly explores the creation of the universe, evolution, the history of Sumerian Nefilim kings, their dynasties, and their enduring legacy for the modern day. A fascinating and at times iconoclastic historical chronology of the lives and reigns of great and not-so-great rulers, The Chronology Of Genesis is enthusiastically recommended reading, especially to students of Metaphysical Studies, Alternative Archaeology, and Antiquarian History. ...

Eve's Choice Awakens Readers' Fancy and Faith
Eve's Choice is falling from the shelves of our church like ripe fruit ready to be consumed by hungry readers.One reason, certainly, is that we are the author's church family and have familial pride. More importantly, Eve's Choice awakens the thinking Christian's fancy and faith.It whets the post-modern reader's appetite for true knowledge of good and evil.It explores the relationship of chance and choice, of consequence and opportunity, of curses and blessings.

Answer to Prayer
Teachers struggling to teach the strange world of the Bible to postmodern students will welcome this textbook for three reasons. First, it's easy to read. Unlike other textbooks, undergraduates will find it difficult to get lost or even sidetracked here. Second, it's wonderfully written-- creative, but not idiosyncratic; eloquent, but not fanciful; comprehensive, but never tedious. Third, this book is a cut above other Old Testament introductions because Benjamin genuinely understands and respects the faith traditions of all his students: Muslims, Christians, Jews, and none of the above. For a world in need of sane interreligious dialogue, The Old Testament Story is an answer to prayer. ... Read more

life impacting Bible Study
An incredible Bible study!! In all my years of teaching the Bible in both Protestant and now the Catholic church I have never had a study that has left such an impression,an almost indelible mark not only on the class but also on the teacher. One can feel almost from the very beginning the moving of the Holy Spirit.
An Inspired Bible Study
Eight women from a charismatic community began a study of the Bible using Genesis Part I: God and His Creation.Our enthusiasm in the first few weeks caused others to join us and our group grew to 14. Then a second study group started and now three more groups are planning to start in the fall.The excitement for this book continues to grow.
Bravo!A study that brings Scripture alive!
Gayle Somers and Sarah Christmyer enlightened my understanding of many of the familiar Biblical stories of Genesis, such as the Creation, Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, Noah and the Flood, and the Tower of Babel.The authors were able to enhance my insights into the teachings of the Catholic Church and the practical application of Scripture into my daily life.Despite the thousands of elapsed years since the Scripture was written, it still remains a tangible and contemporary manifestation of God's love and mercy for each of us.I encourage everyone to make the time in their busy lives to embrace this study as its reward is immeasurable! ...
