The Joseph Paradox: A Radical Reading of Genesis 37-50
ISBN: 9780786468508 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. An accessible interpretation of the Joseph story, this book is a reader-friendly treatment of one of the most popular tales in the Bible. Instead of its usual reading as an Horatio Alger success story, the text proposes that we are presented with a cautionary tale of high achievement and the pursuit of success.

The Elijah Enigma: The Prophet, King Ahab and the Rebirth of Monotheism in the Book of Kings
ISBN: 9780786495207 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. An analysis of the intertwining tales of Elijah and Ahab - mercurial prophet and Machiavellian king - this book is an accessible and reader-friendly treatment of some of the most dramatic and well-known episodes in the Bible. In contrast to the popular image of Elijah as a courageous wonder-worker who calls down fire from heaven and ascends to heaven in a fiery chariot, this book contends that the prophet was a deeply conflicted man, torn between a burning idealism and a deep disillusionment over his failure to achieve his ideals. Despite his profound sense of failure, Elijah's struggle...
