Buchbeschreibung Zustand: Gut. VIII, 222 Seiten / p. Cover leicht aufgebogen durch blättern, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / Cover slightly bent due to flipping, otherwise perfect condition - Invitation to the Apocrypha is a clear, basic guide to these important - but often neglected - ancient books. Respected biblical scholar Daniel Harrington presents a general introduction to the texts and then leads readers through the background, content, and significance of each book. In treating the individual books of the Apocrypha, Harrington shows their links to the Hebrew Bible and notes their importance for understanding the New Testament. He also introduces in an unobtrusive way the latest and best scholarship on these works and suggests leads lor further study. -- A distinctive feature of this primer is its focus throughout on the problem of suf fering. Almost every one of the Apocrypha touches in some way on the mystery of guttering: How can we say that God is omnipotent and just when innocent people are suffering? Are righteous people really rewarded and wicked, people really punished? If so, when and now? No one of these books by itself provides the answer to such questions, but Harrington shows now each book makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of this universal human experience. Ideal for use in a variety of classroom settings, this volume is the best available aid for those who want to read and study the Old Testament Apocrypha seriously for the first time.
