The Story of God as Revealed in the Holy Bible for all Mankind

Are the Bible stories myth or are they history? In this provocative book Raymond Anderegg affirms the latter and traces the history (story) of God as recorded in the only history book written in the Ancient world the Bible. For the Bible writers there is only one universal God and in order to prove it they reveal that this one true God intervened in Ancient and Classical world history among the world's greatest powers so that there would be verifiable eyewitness accounts of his great acts. And it is these Ancient and Classical documents that Raymond Anderegg can reduce to their simple narrative beauty and literary intent as recorded in the story of God the sixty-six books of the Bible. And while in the process of tracing the history of God's interaction with man and with how men and women have perceived and experienced God Raymond Anderegg will also eruditely expose the forces that have shaped our national identities and our humanitarian need for a transnational one a daunting challenge for the 21st century. In more practical terms this book is a condensed look at the Bible that answers every important question from religion and politics to morality war and the end of the world and it uses recent world events such as the conflict in the Middle East and America's war in Iraq for critique and analysis.
