Primeval Saints

Studies in the Patriarchs of Genesis

De: James Jordan

Narrado por: Ben Zornes

Whenever the heroes from the Bible are trotted out in Sunday school, people are quick to point out their flaws and failings, going straight to the moral of the story rather than paying attention to what the text actually says. In this short but adventurous book, Jordan shows that the Biblical narratives are about so much more than Sunday School lessons and that in fact the patriarchs are not held up for us as examples of failure or sin, but are rather are great moral exemplars.

In contrast to Adam, Cain, and other characters in the early chapters of Genesis, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and Judah were great heroes of the faith and by paying careful attention to the details of their lives, we can discover much more from the Bible than we often think.

Not worth the listen.

It appears the author's Reforned theology permeates his biblical interpretation so thoroughly that for a non-Reformed believe it's too painful of a listen.

Enlightening

While I don’t agree with all of Jordan’s interpretations, this was a helpful and enjoyable read.
