Items related to The Tamar Bible, the First Judeo-Christian Scripture
Whether you practice Judaism, Christianity or Islam, this book is vital for you. It gives you the first Bible ever written, the very fountain head of your own religion. This Bible wasn't discovered in some ancient library or church. It was found buried between the pages of the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible, like the one you have at home. This is what happened: The alphabet had been invented by the Phoenicians a few centuries before the time somebody decided to record in writing, for the first time, the beliefs of the Jewish people that had been orally transmitted from generation to generation. That person was Tamar, the daughter of King David who lived about 1000 BCE, and thus the name Tamar Bible. Jewish priests added to the Tamar Bible, taking care not to delete anything from that sacred Scripture. Sometimes the priests added a word here and there, and sometimes they added sentences, paragraphs or full chapters. Their additions were voluminous; burying the Tamar Bible in what is now the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament. This book tells how the Tamar Bible was excavated, and provides the full text. Not a single word was added or changed, and the order of words wasn't changed -- the Tamar Bible was just lifted out of your Bible and is perfectly recognizable, fully coherent, very readable, and it is relatively short. It's a unique way to read Scripture and better understand your own religion, and enhance your faith.

About the Author:
Walter Lamp earned a Doctorate in Jurisprudence from the Yale Law School. He applies the same scrutiny to religious texts as he does to legal documents. A student of both the Bible (Old Testament and Hebrew Bible) and the Muslim Koran, he has written six books on Scripture. He lays out in plain and simple language what the Scripture literally says and only that. Not having a political or religious agenda, he shuns all so-called "interpretation" and speaks only to the plain words of the Scripture that is at the core of the religion. His books are unbiased guides, as a legal scholar would write. Lamp takes nothing for granted about a reader's religious knowledge or lack thereof. His books are easy to read in spite of their serious subject matter. Every term and quote is explained with clear citations to its place in the Scripture so that readers might check it out or read further in the Scripture they happen to have at home. His books are lighthearted in tone, like going on a romp through the Scripture, and you'll wind up being much more knowledgeable about your religion and your Scripture.
