Delve into critical interpretations of such topics as incarnation, sin, grace, baptism, the second coming of Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Sabbath. Uncover a new perspective on pivotal events such as the Exodus and the Flood and learn about the realities of the world surrounding these events, including its feasts and its animals and plants. Learn how the Bible was produced and about its influence in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions. Here, ancient manuscripts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls shed new light on our modern understanding of the Bible and its historical context, and computers and archaeology offer new, fascinating means of interpretation. Arranged alphabetically, the Guide contains a detailed index for ease of use as well as a table of abbreviations and transliterations."
