Stories Between The Testaments: Meeting Of The People Of The Apocrypha

by Marjorie L. Kimbrough

In Stories Between the Testaments, Marjorie Kimbrough examines stories from the Apocrypha--of heroes and heroines who were faithful to God and who lived in obedience to the Law. She asks questions that appeal to the timelessness of these stories: Would the lessons learned then apply today? Can I, many centuries later, benefit from the wisdom evident here? Do the words attributed to God ring with authority? Do the stories mean anything to people in the household of faith? Do the stories reveal truths about God and ourselves? 16 chapters. Key Features: - Faithful examination of stories unfamiliar to many Protestants - Reflection questions at the end of each chapter Key Benefits: - Readers will come to know biblical characters who are a part of the tradition of the Christian church - Readers will examine their faith journey in relation to these biblical characters
