5.0 out of 5 stars Through Different Eyes, February 13, 2000
This review is from: City of Gold and Other Stories from the Old Testament (Hardcover)
Peter Dickinson has written a wonderful little book which takes a look at over thirty Old Testament stories or characters as seen through different eyes. A particular favorite of mine is a Babylonian drill sergeant using the David and Goliath story to tell young recruits how do deal with the threats posed by a slingshot to an armored infantryman. All of the stories take a different viewpoint than is used in the Bible and cast new light on the characters and situations. Quite enjoyable.
