The Story of the Torah

Beschreibung

Who wrote the oldest parts of the Bible? How old are they? How have they survived across the millennia? Why do dictators, tyrants and power groups fear and hate the writings so much that they have ceaselessly suppressed and banned them and to this day execute people found in possession of them? These are some of the questions addressed in 'The Story of the Torah', first in the 'Is the Bible a Dangerous Book' series of commentaries. South African born Beryl Lavender is a former journalist and teacher of English and Divinity, now living in Buckinghamshire in the United Kingdom where she divides her time between biblical research and church activities. She is an active member of the 14th century church of St Peter and St Paul, Olney, where John Newton was vicar when he wrote the words of 'Amazing Grace' and where Henry Gauntlett, composer of the familiar tune of 'Once in Royal David's City' was the first organist.

Autor

Beryl Lavender was born and educated in South Africa, at Rocklands Girls' High School and the University of Natal, where she read English and History. She worked as a journalist (full-time reporter on The Eastern Province Herald) and later as a teacher of English and Divinity at Michaelhouse, a top South African public school. Beryl married Paul Lavender, South African artist and head of the art department at Michaelhouse, and they have three children and four grandchildren. Widowed, she currently lives in Buckinghamshire, UK. She has been a member of the Church of England all her life and has been studying the Bible since childhood. When she discovered that she was contributing to Bible study groups more than she was receiving from them, she decided the time had come to record all her knowledge, hence these Biblical commentaries: Already completed are The Story of the Torah, The Broken Contract, Problems, Praises and Proverbs and A Warning for Our Times-so the whole of the Old Testament. She selfpublished the first three with Xulon Press, USA. All are in everyday English and are designed for non-academics who wish to understand the Bible.
