Ancient Egypt and the Old Testament
An enlightening guide to Egyptian influences on Israelite history. Includes illustrations.
Numbers
God has promised to be with Israel in the wilderness and John Currid shows how the book of Numbers demonstrates God's faithfulness in fulfilling his promises, despite their murmuring and rebellion. Now, in Christ, God promises to be with his people, guiding and leading them to the true promised land. The place of the book of Numbers in the literary pattern is clear. First of all, it concludes Israel's stay at Sinai, and it prepares the people for the march to the land of promise (1:1 - 10:10). Secondly, the book records the actual journey from Sinai to the plains of Moab, and it ends with Israel prepared to launch a campaign into the land of promise. It is telling that the final word of the book is 'Jericho'; this anticipates the book of Joshua, in which the tribes make an assault on the land by first attacking the site of Jericho.
Against the Gods
Did Moses borrow ideas from his cultural neighbors when he wrote the Pentateuch? Scholars disagree on the relationship between portions of the Old Testament and similar ancient Near Eastern accounts. Following in the footsteps of higher critics, some evangelical scholars now argue that Moses drew significantly from the worldview of his pagan contemporaries. Respected Old Testament scholar John Currid, however, pushes back against this trend by highlighting the highly polemical nature of Moses' writings. From the Genesis creation account to the story of Israel's exodus from Egypt, Currid shows how the biblical author's continually emphasized the futility of paganism in contrast with the unparalleled worldview of the Hebrews. Currid's penetrating analysis and thoughtful argumentation make this a ground-breaking resource for anyone interested in this ongoing discussion.

Leviticus
Leviticus used to be the first book of the Bible read and studied by children in the synagogue. In the church, it is perhaps the last one read, if it is ever given any attention at all. One of the reasons that the book of Leviticus is so little studied in the church is a lack of understanding about the relevance of the literature to the New Testament Christian. John Currid shows that Leviticus has an enduring value and quality for the believer of any age. The book of Leviticus is indispensable for teaching the Christian the depth and heinousness of human sinfulness. The chasm that separates a holy God from an unholy humanity stems from this pervasive iniquity. Yet Leviticus holds out a promi...
A Biblical Case against Theistic Evolution
Leading Bible Scholars Explore Why the Theory of Theistic Evolution Conflicts with Christian Doctrine Even Christians strongly debate Scripture's account of creation, with some declaring that major events in the book of Genesis—from the origin of Adam and Eve to God's curse on the world—were purely symbolic. Several respected scholars endorse this theory, but is it consistent with the Bible's teaching? In A Biblical Case against Theistic Evolution, condensed and adapted from Theistic Evolution, Wayne Grudem and other leading scholars challenge the belief that Genesis is mostly symbolic, rather than a true, historical narrative. Grudem examines 12 specific events in Genesis 1–3 and expl...
