How the Texts Have Shaped the Times

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Bible in History traces the fascinating story of how specific biblical texts have at different times emerged to be the inspiration of movements that have changed the course of history. In this revised and expanded second edition, David W. Kling adds two new chapters, one on the iconic "Great Commission" text of missionary motivation in the modern period, the other on the divisive and ongoing issue of the Bible and male homosexuality.
