Footsteps of Israel (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Samuel Greenwood | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This engaging history traces the origins of Israel; how the name itself came to be, and the various legends and Biblical events of yore that ensued in the Holy Lands.

The Bible's early history of man tells of the Garden of Eden, where God created the first man - Adam - and the first woman - Eve. The behaviors and definitions of God as the Creator, and the first humans as his Creations, are discussed at length. When the humans were cast out of Eden, their history on Earth began, with the earliest families and events of yore related in the Book of Genesis. The author notes the gender roles of the era, the place of women in the ancient lore.

By quoting scripture throughout, the author builds a cohesive account of how Israel came to be. The establishment of the ancient Hebrews in the region now termed the holy land is recounted, as are the ancient monarchs, heroes and prophetic figures who emerged over the centuries. The significance of Israel as host to successive events in the Bible lore is a constant backdrop, one which the author chronicles impeccably.

Samuel Greenwood was a popular writer and educator who specialized in Christian and spiritual pamphlets and books in the early 20^th century.
