The Bible for Nonbelievers: Part 2: The Exodus and the Entry, Exodus, Joshua, Judges

The Bible is a fascinating book. Our culture is unthinkable without the holy book of the Jews and Christians. But those who are not religious do not read it. And that is a pity, because it contains some of the most beautiful stories in world literature. Guus Kuijer retells them for non-believers (and believers). In this part Exodus through Judges. These are the books of the Bible that tell how the people of Israel fled from Egypt and ended up in Canaan, and colonized that country. Moses is the first leader. With him, the Jewish people wandered through the desert for forty years. He brought them to the border of the Promised Land, the land of milk and honey. There Joshua took over, who led the battle of conquest, with the fall of Jericho as the most famous feat of arms. After Joshua came the judges, of whom Samson is perhaps the most famous. One theme is always present: the Israelites are repeatedly seduced by foreign peoples and their gods, while they should above all remain upright in their doctrine!
