Synopsis

Using an approach similar to the one he took in Faith from the Back Side, J. Ellsworth Kalas opens up new possibilities of insight into selected Old Testament stories by entering them through the "back side"--through a unique starting point, a creative retelling, a new "lens," or the eyes of a minor or unsympathetic character. Kalas' creative approach both clarifies basic teachings and introduces new possibilities of meaning, even for those who are most familiar with the stories. Enriched with contemporary illustrations and personal experiences, this volume will provide new perspectives on Old Testament stories.
