The Epic of Eden: A Christian Entry into the Old Testament
Customer Reviews:
Outstanding and Accessible
By Lawson Stone - November 8, 2008This book captures over 20 years of study and teaching experience. The author's Harvard PhD and technical publications assure the reader of her expertise. A veteran of the classroom, pulpit, and popular conference venues, she understands the importance of communicating clearly and powerfully. The book almost effortlessly integrates the history of the ancient Near East, archaeological data, literary observations, a survey of the content of the OT, and an explicitly Christian interpretation that sees the OT in relationship to the NT without suppressing its distinctive witness. All of this is presented in a style that is engaging but not chatty, personal but not excessively autobiographical. This book would be an ideal text or collateral reading for an OT introduction at the college or seminary level. A serious church group wanting a meaty study of the Old Testament would find this volume an ideal resource. Anyone eager for a strategic grasp of this challenging portion of scripture will... read more
Enjoy this book
By Nancy M. Sleeth - January 11, 2009I love this book. It is organized around a metaphor of cleaning a closet. It makes the entire Old Testament clear and orients the reader in time, geography, culture, redemption, and relevance to today. I was given a copy, read it, and then went out and bought a handful to send off to friends. Unlike some books by scholars, it does not diminish one's faith--neither does it "dumb down" the scripture. Dr. Richter's book is a gift to all those who struggle with the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Old Testament. May God bless her and all who read this magnificent book. J. Matthew Sleeth M.D.
Great for a Religiously Diverse Group of People
By William B. Fowler "Bryan" - May 24, 2010I recently used this book as the guide for a group of Agnostic, Jewish, Christian, and other folks that met in a bar to discuss the Origins of Monotheism. It received two thumbs up from every member. They all appreciated the clearly articulated depth of research and the overall ease of comprehension through the unveiling of a contextual framework. Now all of them are able to grasp the legendary Biblical stories as part of a larger pattern revealing an even deeper significance for the tales individually. Having completed the book, they are all much closer to understanding their own origins and how they relate to God's activity in the present. In other words, they were all able to see themselves as an ongoing part of the Epic of Eden.
