Description
Exploring the Old Testament: A Guide to the Historical BooksThe historical books, from Joshua to Ezra and Nehemiah, form the narrative backbone of the Old Testament. Without them the Pentateuch would stop cold and the Prophets would hang in suspension. Even the Psalms and Wisdom literature would lose some of their luster for lack of a setting. Without these historical books the New Testament would be resolving an incomplete narrative, answering a question only half and hesitantly posed. For all these reasons
The historical books, from Joshua to Ezra and Nehemiah, form the narrative backbone of the Old Testament. Without them the Pentateuch would stop cold and the Prophets would hang in suspension. Even the Psalms and Wisdom literature would lose some of their luster for lack of a setting. Without these historical books the New Testament would be resolving an incomplete narrative, answering a question only half and hesitantly posed. For all these reasons and more, it is a tragic fact that many of us today cannot give a brief and coherent account of this story. We fear that books with names like Judges, Kings and Chronicles would bore us. But nothing could be further from the truth. For the story they tell is full of action and intrigue, tragedy and suspense, vivid characters and memorable events. They are the stuff of great art and literature, and they have inspired men and women to lives and deeds of uncommon faith and courage. Exploring these books is essential for a true education, whether religious or otherwise. In this guidebook, Philip E. Satterthwaite and J. Gordon McConville introduce us to the content and the context of these historical books. We view them within the setting of ancient history and history writing, and come to appreciate their literary artistry, their role within the Scriptures of Israel, and their lasting value as theological and ethical resources. Designed especially for students, Exploring the Old Testament, Volume 2: A Guide to the Historical Books overflows with interesting and helpful features that encourage avid exploration and the joy of learning.Binding Type: Paperback

Great Safe Can Opener
Color: Black+Grey
The 1️⃣ touch can opener is great⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. It is easy to use & eliminates possible cuts to my hand on those cans that have a pop up lid. I am almost 70 so sometimes using a manual can opener is difficult.
Thank you for selling a quality product at a really fair price ⭐️🌈⭐️🌈⭐️Donna Pearson in New Orleans

Great, leaves top of can Very sharp!
Color: Grey Red
Tried it out the second I got it today. Works great.
Just know that it leaves the top of the can VERY sharp!!! So if you are scooping things out, use a very long handle like a spatula.
Will add another star if it lasts more then 6 months

Love it takes up less space and easy to use
Color: Grey Red
The can opener works awesome easy to use and the magnet helps hold the lid after use. Easy to clean and easy to stack to the can. Batter life seems great and the product seems durable no issues. Highly recommend.

So far
Color: Black+Grey
I did have a electric can opener before and that brand didn't really work well at all. With this one I have only opened 3 cans with it so far and it worked perfectly. I am very happy with the product and it is really easy to work with. I didn't know if it was going to work on a bigger can and when I put it on it did the job just like it is supposed too.

Frustrating Opener
Color: Black+Grey
I love and hate these at the same time! I have had several and this one will not stop once it has started! Even though there is a button that says start/stop whenever you push it, it just starts it all over again and I can’t get the lid out. Very frustrating.
