Testament Bible

Thomas Schreiner, a respected scholar and a trusted voice for many students and pastors, offers a substantial and accessibly written overview of the whole Bible. He traces the storyline of the scriptures from the standpoint of biblical theology, examining the overarching message that is conveyed throughout. Schreiner emphasizes three interrelated and unified themes that stand out in the biblical narrative: God as Lord, human beings as those who are made in God's image, and the land or place in which God's rule is exercised.

The books of the Bible were written at different times by different authors over a period of approximately 1,500 years from around 1400 BC through 90 AD. The Old Testament was written in Biblical Hebrew, excluding the books written during "the Chaldean captivity" such as Daniel and Ezra which were written in "Biblical Aramaic" during the "Chaldean captivity". Many of the books of the Old Testament bear the names of the prophets who authored them. Moses compiled the earlier parts of Genesis and directly authored the remaining portion.

"Le 1er livre des Rois" est un livre de l'Ancien Testament classé parmi "Les livres des Prophètes" dans le judaïsme et le christianisme. Avec "Le 2e livre des Rois" il constituait à l'origine un ensemble, "Le livre des Rois" qui a été divisé à l'époque de la Septante. "Les deux livres des Rois" racontent l'histoire d'Israël depuis la rébellion d'Adonias (Adonija), quatrième fils du roi David (vers 1015 av. J.-C.) jusqu'à la captivité finale de Juda (vers 586 av. J.-C.).

"Le Siracide", appelé aussi "l'Ecclésiastique" ou encore "La Sagesse de Ben Sira", est l'un des livres de l'Ancien Testament écrit vers 200 av. J.-C.

L'ouvrage est un mélange de deux genres littéraires : tantôt des "proverbes", tantôt des développements structurés qui proposent des réflexions sur un sujet. Il s'agit toujours de la "Sagesse", représentée comme une personnification de la Sagesse divine.

As they endured these difficult circumstances, we can imagine their joy upon receiving two encouraging letters from the Apostle Peter.
