Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

First Testament Profiles in Poetry is a companion volume to New Testament Profiles in Poetry published in 2023. By comparison with the New Testament, the First Testament (or Old Testament) is much less often read and therefore less known. This manuscript features the main actors in the story of the people of God, before Jesus came to earth.There are one hundred biblical people profiled in this book. Many of their individual stories express what God is saying to humanity as a whole. Each person tells their story in their own words. With a little imagination, join them in building an ark, facing a powerful king, battling against great odds, administering justice, and listening to God's voice. These people from ancient times have much to share with a modern audience. We may live a millennia or three later, but we face the same issues today. Poetry is the medium of communication, the vehicle for people to tell their stories succinctly and interestingly. Enjoy seeing through the eyes of patriarchs, judges, kings, prophets, and the Apocrypha.
