I’m taking Hugh Hewett’s suggested reading list in “In, But not Of” and seeing what it amounts to. He encourages the learning of where we (in the West) came from to be an essential component in obtaining influence, and lays out a list of 12 books to form an outline of this history. It begins with the Jews, so here I am.
So far, it’s been great to read with more detail the times and culture surrounding Abraham and what it actually looked like for him to “go forth” and to see his developing relationship with God unfold with more context than the stories learned from the Bible.
