This review is from: From Earth's Creation to John's Revelation: The Interfaces Biblical Storyline Companion (Interfaces series) (Paperback)
This volume gives an overview of the Biblical story line in historical sequence. It serves as a introduction to the Interfaces series which is a narrative theology/literary criticism series intended for an introductory level college class. The editor of the series, Sr. Barbara Green. O.P. is an excellent and entertaining teacher - her style transfers nicely to the printed page. The material is divided into 31 time frames - each given enough detail to truly serve as a framework to the detailed books of the series. This frames are:1. Adam and Eve 2. Noah, Family and Friends 3. Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah 4. Jacob and Family 5. Joseph and Family 6. Moses of the Egypt Experience 7. Moses between Egypt and Canaan 8. Joshua 9. Samson among the Judges 10. Ruth, Naomi, and their Kin 11. Samuel and Saul 12. David and His Household 13. Solomon, Jeroboam, Ahijah of Shiloh 14. Ahab, Jezebel, Elijah and Elisha 15. Amos, Hosea, and the Jehu Dynasty 16. Ahaz, Hezekiah, (First) Isaiah, Micah 17. Jeremiah, Nahum, Zephaniah, Habakkuk, Josiah, Huldah 18. Ezekiel, Obadiah, Joel 19. (Second) Isaiah of the Return 20. Tobit, Daniel, Esther 21. Haggai and Zechariah 22. Ezra and Nehemiah 23. Malachi, (Third) Isaiah, Joel 24. Qoheleth (Ecclesiastes) and Job 25. The Hasmonean "Maccabee" Family and Judith 26. Sophia in Wisdom of Solomon 27. Jesus of Nazareth 28. Jewish Christianity: Matthew, James, Jude 29. Gentile Christianity: Mark, Luke 30. Gentile Christianity: Paul, 1 and 2 Peter 31. Alternative to The Great Church: the Johannine Communities The distinctions made to create these time frames are representative of the focus of the book as a whole. Several series issues are raised, not to be given answers but to focus the eventual reading of the Scripture itself. The only misstep in this book is a inconsistent and sometimes intrusive attempt to write in the voice of Wisdom. Otherwise, this is an excellent introduction to history as portrayed in the Scripture.
