CANAAN REVISITED
As the bedrock of three great religions; Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, one would expect the Old Testament of the Holy Bible would be one of the world's best read and best understood narratives. Unfortunately, this may not be the case due to the Old Testament's daunting length (984 pages and 39 books - my Bible), subject and book discontinuity, and the fact that present day society's interests and values have changed markedly over the past 3,500 years.
Canaan Revisited's chronological timeline and synoptic format allowed the consolidation and reorganization of the Old Testament's pages to 175 and the books to 15.
The Old Testament chronicles God's selection of Hebrew slaves in Egypt, whom He chose to introduce Himself as the one living God for all of humankind. It then describes God's guidance of the Hebrews to Canaan where they became Israelites and experienced prosperity, power, and prestige. However, their immorality led them astray from God's commandments for which they were vanquished and enslaved in Babylong. The Israelites' rise and fall is an incomparable saga covering 900 years.
Crucially important for present day world-wide social order is God's message interwoven throughout the Old Testament's narrative: that if humankind accepts and adheres to His tenants, they will be blessed and they will prosper; but if they don't, they will fail and they will be punished. The message is crystal clear: if humankind is to avoid the cataclysmic experience of Israel and every succeeding world power over the past 2,500 years, present day's societal values and behavior must be immediately improved, and Canaan Revisited is the place to start.
Canaan Revisited's "take-away message" is of critical importance for humankind to assure that their names are included in the Book of Life in order that they may experience Life Everlasting. Given the preceding, Canaan Revisited is a must read.
