Israel's Story Reviews

Bergant slices through the incongruities to reveal the essential elements of the traditions and then carefully folds them into a concise overview of the history of Israel. By concentrating on these essential elements she provides the reader with a compass to navigate through the text to discover the simple wonder and beauty of the text. In so doing, Bergant has provided the necessary foundation on which to build an incredible story. Israel's Story-Part One would be a welcome addition to any library. It is thoroughly researched, easy to read, and provides a great catalyst for storytellers to delve between the lines of the page to understand and tell the awesome stories of the God of Israel-the same God who guides our own work. The Biblical Storyteller
. . . a thoroughly researched and well-written book that can be used as a text for Old Testament study groups and also for personal reading by those interested in the subject. It is recommended.Catholic Library World
Bergant offers a highly readable retelling of the biblical story that includes minimal information from critical scholarship. As such, it may prove helpful to those attempting to read the Old Testament for the first time.Catholic Studies
