By Ellen Davis

Have you ever wondered what the Bible meant to the people who first read it? What did they think about God, about themselves, and about the world around them? In Opening Israel's Scriptures, renowned biblical scholar Ellen Davis takes us on a journey into the heart and mind of ancient Israel. She guides us through the Hebrew Bible, exploring its literary, historical, and theological dimensions.

This book is not a dry academic tome. Davis writes with passion and enthusiasm, bringing the ancient world to life. She shows us how the Israelites struggled with the same questions that we do today: questions about faith, doubt, justice, and the meaning of life.

Opening Israel's Scriptures is an essential resource for anyone who wants to understand the Bible and its relevance to our lives today. It is a book that will challenge your assumptions, open your mind, and deepen your faith.
