Download The Great Shift: Encountering God in Biblical Times AudioBook Free
Why does the Bible depict a global in which humans, with astonishing regularity, encounter the divine - wrestling an angel, addressing a using bush, issuing forth prophecy with no choice in the matter? These experiences spoke very in another way to their original audience than they certainly to us, plus they indicate a radically distinct understanding of fact and the real human mind. Yet during the period of the thousand-year biblical time, encounters with God improved dramatically. As James Kugel argues, this transition allows us to glimpse an enormous shift in real human experience - the introduction of the present day, Traditional western sense of self applied. In such a landmark work, Kugel fuses revelatory close readings of ancient texts with modern scholarship from a variety of fields, including neuroscience, anthropology, mindset, and archaeology, to explain the origins of idea, worship, and the sense of self applied and the changing characteristics of God through background. The Great Transfer will make believers and seekers think in another way not merely about the Bible but about the whole background of the real human imagination.
