The Bible Today was written by one of Israel's most popular writers. Her characters are men and women of flesh and blood, with ambitious thoughts and cherished dreams. They intrigue, quarrel, start wars, fall in love - so much so that they remember this even after thousands of years. The Bible, of course, is eternal, and therefore a modern book, the author believes, and tells the story in living today’s language, often including its heroes in the modern historical landscape.
