Download The Bible's Cutting Room Floor: The Holy Scriptures Missing from Your Bible AudioBook Free
The Bible you usually read is not the entire story. Some holy writings were left out for political or theological reasons, others simply as a result of physical limitations of traditional bookmaking technology. At times, the compilers of the Bible skipped information that they assumed everyone recognized. Some passages were even omitted by accident. In The Bible's Slicing Room Floor, acclaimed author and translator Dr. Joel M. Hoffman provides us the testimonies and other text messages that didn't make it into the Bible even though they provide penetrating insight into the Bible and its own teachings. The E book of Genesis tells us about Adam and Eve's amount of time in your garden of Eden, but not their saga after they get kicked out or the lessons they may have for all of us about good and bad. The Bible presents us to Abraham, but it doesn't include the troubling story of his early on life, which clarifies how he came up to reject idolatry to become the father of monotheism. Even though there are only 150 Psalms in the current Bible, there used to be many more. Dr. Hoffman deftly brings these and other traditional scriptural texts to life, exploring how they provide new answers to some of the very most fundamental and common questions people ask about their lives. An extraordinary blend of history, linguistics, and religious scholarship or grant, The Bible's Slicing Room Floor reveals what's lacking from your Bible, who left it out, and why it is so important.
