With new research, additions regarding Jesus' birth and ministry, a new preface, and updated citations, From Abraham to Paul, Second Edition offers a historical tour of the Bible from the life of Abraham to the second missionary journey of the Apostle Paul. Author Andrew E. Steinmann reveals firstly that key events-like the Conquest of the Promised Land or the birth of Jesus-can be reasonably narrowed down to a time and place within our history. Secondly, he acknowledges the complexity of history. Many events and issues discussed come with polarizing discourse, but Steinmann remains focused on the evidence-often arriving at conclusions in the middle.
