Egypt Bible

Read by the author. The Bible is one story told through dozens of people over thousands of years. As Christians, we know we're supposed to believe this - and so we do. But when we pick up our Bibles, if we're honest, we sometimes lose the thread, especially with some of the strange and obscure...

This volume contains an overview of scholarly discussions on the historical reliability of the Old Testament, primarily the Pentateuch, the Bible's first five books, in light of evidence from Egypt. With more than 200 notes, this volume contains a wealth of sources for further reading, some of which contain links to free online material that is available but often difficult to find. Issues addressed include the Egyptian background to creation in Genesis, the historical background to the Joseph narratives, the date of the exodus, the historical background to the exodus event, etc.

The account of Joseph’s life in the Bible begins with a seventeen-year-old being sold off as a slave and concludes with him becoming second-in-command of all ancient Egypt. This book covers the experiences of Joseph's eventful life: the dreams from God, being sold to merchants, the journey to Egypt, life as a slave, in the prison, his promotion by Pharaoh and life as a leader. Following the Biblical narrative carefully and with research into ancient Egypt of the time, I paint a picture of what Joseph would have experienced. Everything included in this story has a foundation either from ...

Do you already know about the faithfulness of Lebudah, the mind of Ammah and Leboa, the feistiness of Norea and the daring of Birren?

Hidden away and not usually recognized for their achievements or effect on History, you just have to read about these important women who make Biblical scriptures and history come alive. While the men got much of the credit in the Biblical history...

We, as a civilization, were not the first to invent and detonate a nuclear weapon. You would not know that weapons of mass destruction—WMD—information is contained in the Old Testament texts because the evidence is not clear-cut and, therefore, not in-your-face type. The Bible interpreters usually employ unnecessary religious iconography to describe events that are simply irreligious. We fail to interpret the Bible according to the authors’ intended meaning. Today, it has become the fad to dismiss the well documented events in the Bible as mythological fairy tales. They do this to ...

This book provides a correlation of geological, archaeological and historical records with the Bible presented in a new perspective. Why a new perspective? This implies that previous attempts at correlating these items have not provided satisfactory answers to all the factors involved, and from my own experience, this is correct. Most Bible teaching does not include correlation of historical information from other nations with the historical events of the Israelites, and so important information is not conveyed to the student. Teachers should not be faulted for this because this type of ...

Don’t be upset if things don’t fit when you first tried reading the Bible as the writers were trying to ...

The Hebrews call me prophetess, the Egyptians a seer. But I am neither. I am simply a watcher of Israel and the messenger of El Shaddai. When He speaks to me in dreams, I interpret. When He whispers a melody, I sing. At eighty-six, Miriam had devoted her entire life to loving El Shaddai and...

Is Joseph - the deserted son of Jacob from the Old Testament - relevant in our modern age? For Madeleine L'Engle, the answer is a resounding yes; not solely because Joseph is an important historical character, but primarily because his experiences of disenfranchisement, tragedy, and profound betrayal resonate within our own society. These thoughtful meditations on obedience, prophecy, forgiveness, and compassion are masterfully woven to bridge gaps of belief, politics, education, and even faith.

In Egypt to Canaan, John Ritchie traces the epic journey of the Israelites from their redemption by blood all the way to the promised land. These incidents in Israel's history are illustrative pictures, or "types" (in the book of Hebrews they are called patterns, figures, and shadows), from which God will teach us important spiritual lessons if we are willing to learn them.
