Synopsis

The Bibles greatest value is its doctrinal and prophetic message: the Old Testaments foretelling of a coming Messiah, and the New Testaments fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy the literal coming of Christ, the Son of God, and what bearing His lifes work has upon the human race.We must not overlook the Bibles peculiar doctrinal stance in world history and we should thank the Jews for that Book of books, which is the Bible. But where does the Bible stand in literary terms? Surely we must not overlook the Bibles peculiar literary stance in world history. The Bible, with its prophetic imagery, poetic praises, and parabolic analogy is one of the worlds greatest literary works. Perhaps none of its writings show this more than does the Psalms, Proverbs, and parables. From the IntroductionWith an insightful introduction on the literary gems of the Psalms, Proverbs and parables, this compilation is a fine contribution to any religious or inspirational library, sure to inspire a more careful and serious reading of one of the worlds greatest textsthe Holy Bible.
