The Hidden Book in the Bible - Richard Elliott Friedman

The author of Who Wrote the Bible? returns with a 3,000-year-old epic hidden within the books of the Hebrew Bible--a compelling account of humankind's complex relationship with God. Renowned biblical sleuth and scholar Richard Elliot Friedman reveals the first work of prose literature in the world-a 3000-year-old epic hidden within the books of the Hebrew Bible. Written by a single, masterful author but obscured by ancient editors and lost for millennia, this brilliant epic of love, deception, war, and redemption is a compelling account of humankind's complex relationship with God. Friedman boldly restores this prose masterpiece-the very heart of the Bible-to the extraordinary form in which it was originally written.
