New perspective but also missed perspective

Revisado: 08-07-24

I disagree with this particular author, in much of his deductions of why things happen to people like Abraham or his understanding of the Akida that is the offering of Isaac, he does provide some new insights that I hadn’t considered, but there are a number of things that I feel his perspective missed not only the ones above, but also the story of the Nephilim as the reason for the flood.
Abraham essentially names, the place that he offered Isaac in the amount of the Lord and shall be seen the Lord said that he would offer himself as a sacrifice, I think that if you are going to listen to or read this book, you need to have a great degree of biblical literacy to sift the true from the mundane.
Aside from all of the above, I disagree with his assessment of the creation at the very beginning of the book I believe the creation happened precisely the way the Lord said it did in Genesis one, and that evolution has nothing to do with it, and that we are not millions or billions of years old . Although the millions or billions of years old can be explained or reduced by the expansion factor, I still say it only took six days. I disagree with the idea that God can either make mistakes or learn, although I do agree with the assessment that God wants to commune with his people, and therefore has been turned away from his wrath by the intercession of Abraham or Moses or number of other characters in the Bible.
But he did give a disclaimer at the beginning, saying that if you want the biblical representation of creation that part of the book was not for you . If you are well-versed in scripture, it’s a worthwhile read. If you are not I would recommend other books.

Mostly allegorical in scope

Revisado: 11-24-23

The author seems to see Jesus as more than allegory than he truly was. I found this book to be heretical in most of its context, but I did gain a deeper understanding of the Lutheran faith. Which applies to my husband. The author doesn’t seem to actually understand the nature of the text and the verbiage behind the text as he distorted so many basic theology precepts. This book is not for the faint of heart or for somebody who does not know their Bible very very well. if you were a new believer, I would steer you in a completely different direction.

I wish

I wish it had ended very differently on every single front! I was looking forward to pieces that didn’t happen but all in all it was good

Good book but

Especially in the beginning it seems both often forget that they carry each others emotions.

I don’t know....

Revisado: 10-15-20

It seems a lot of experiences were based in eastern mysticism which I understand but don’t embrace. Interesting non the less
