Renowned critic and translator Robert Alter’s The Art of Biblical Narrative has radically expanded our view of the Bible by recasting it as a work of literary art deserving studied criticism. In this seminal work, Alter describes how the Hebrew Bible’s many authors used innovative literary styles and devices such as parallelism, contrastive dialogue, and narrative tempo to tell one of the most revolutionary stories of all time: the revelation of a single God. In so doing, Alter shows, these writers reshaped not only history, but also the art of storytelling itself.

It is a weak faith that must have stilts and crutches to support it.

With a foundation in Scripture, the author dives deep into the seemingly bottomless well of wisdom that is the vast library of writings that these experienced practitioners left behind.

We need to understand something: God is. And he doesn’t change who he is because of what we believe about him. The fact is, he is holy, and he wants us to be holy, too.

How can God say, “Be ye holy for I am holy,” in one breath, and then, “All things are lawful,” in another?

He challenges those who, through allegorical methods, treat passages of Scripture intended for the nations of Israel and Iraq (ancient Babylon) as if they are applicable to the United States. Allegorical methods are open to the whims of people’s imaginations and become disconnected from the plain meaning of scripture, whereas the method of using Scripture to unlock Scripture demonstrates that the United States and other modern nations, such as Russia and China, are identifiable, and their fates can be ascertained.Paul encourages the reader to look beyond the coming judgement on the United States toward its future repentance and restoration. Christians who grasp the magnitude of our country’s fate will be better prepared for the coming shaking.
