Bible People Real People: An Unforgettable A-Z of Who is Who in the Bible

by J. Stafford Wright

In a fascinating look at real people, J Stafford Wright shows his love and scholarly knowledge of the Bible as he brings the characters from its pages to life in a memorable way. ... Read this book through from A to Z, like any other title. ... Dip in and discover who was who in personal Bible study. ... Check the names when preparing a talk or sermon. The good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly – no one is spared. This is a book for everyone who wants to get to grips with the reality that is in the pages of the Bible, the Word of God. With the names arranged in alphabetical order, the Old and New Testament characters are clearly identified so that the reader is able to explore either the Old or New Testament people on the first reading, and the other Testament on the second. Those wanting to become more familiar with the Bible will find this is a great introduction to the people inhabiting the best selling book in the world; and those who can quote chapter and verse will find everyone suddenly becomes much more real – because these people are real. This is a book to keep handy and refer to frequently while reading the Bible. “This is a lively, well-informed study of some great Bible characters.” Professor Gordon Wenham MA PhD. Tutor in Old Testament at Trinity College Bristol and Emeritus Professor of Old Testament at the University of Gloucestershire.

Reviews

[Rene Torry]

Opinionated

Cynical and opinionated. The author reveals his own insecurities by being cynical from introduction and explanations. I don't like the authors flippant arrogant style. Subjective information provided about the biblical person. I purchased to be educated with facts, not to be influenced by an author who seems tortured.
