"In her delightful style, Lois Tverberg engagingly leads us across cultures to begin to envision a different worldview, a worldview more consistent with the world of most of Scripture. In so doing, she brings alive biblical texts from the inside."--Craig S. Keener, F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary; coauthor of the NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible

The latest from Lois Tverberg is a meaningful contribution to that end."--James C. Whitman, president, Center for Judaic-Christian Studies

"Lois Tverberg opens up the Scriptures we all love and shines a fascinating new light on them.

I devoured this fascinating book."--Lynn Austin, author of Where We Belong

I'm recommending it to everyone I know."--Todd Bolen, professor of biblical studies, The Master's University
