Inhaltsangabe
The Old Testament is a fierce battleground for atheists and Christian apologists, with each side accusing the other of taking challenging and troubling passages out of context. In this handbook, Joshua Bowen not only provides the background to the Old Testament and the ancient Near East, but engages with hotly contested topics like slavery, failed prophecy, and the authorship of debated Old Testament books.
This book provides:
- clear and straightforward explanations to complex topics
- direct engagement with hot-button Old Testament issues
- specific arguments to help you in a debate or discussion
Whether you are looking to debate problematic Old Testament issues on social media or have a relaxed, meaningful discussion with a family member over coffee, The Atheist Handbook to the Old Testament is an indispensable resource for you.
Kritikerstimmen
"Exhibiting an enviable depth of knowledge across a wide range of texts and topics – and with more than a dollop of humor spread throughout – Bowen has written a useful and much-needed overview to some of the most significant topics in the study of the Hebrew Bible. You don’t bring a knife to a gunfight, and you shouldn’t go into a debate about the Bible without your copy of this book handy." (Dr. Joel Baden, Professor of Hebrew Bible, Yale Divinity School)
"This is more than a book about the Hebrew Bible. And it’s more than a book for atheists. It’s a masterclass in how to read and understand the Hebrew Bible on its own terms - and not those imposed by modern-day believers. An Atheist’s Handbook to the Old Testament digs down deep into those biblical texts so often used by fundamentalist Christians to render the Hebrew Bible a prophetic guidebook to their God - and turns their own arguments on their head. This book is essential reading for anyone who’d like the tools to excavate the Hebrew Bible for themselves with precision, skill and intellectual integrity." (Dr. Francesca Stavrakopoulou, Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Religion, University of Exeter)
"Bowen's book reminds us that the Hebrew Bible is not precise, and the evidence is overwhelming that it wasn't written by Moses. This assembled compilation of works from unknown authors, editors and redactors promotes barbaric cruelty, and it contains failed prophecies and irreconcilable contradictions, such that a literal interpretation of all of it is untenable." (Aron Ra, Host of the Ra-Men Podcast, Board of Directors for American Atheists)

Interesting content, but very repetititve
The overall content is interesting, and I would love to hear about the topics in volume 2, but currently I cannot bring myself to listen to it.
This book is probably the most repetitive work I have ever encountered. This is both regarding content and wording.
I have stopped counting how often Ezekiel 26 is recited as if it was newly introduced, or how often the author points out that supply routes between Tyre and Uschu were to be interrupted. I listened to the book in the car, my wife fell asleep for almost an hour and when she woke up she asked if he was still talking about the same thing.
My only explanation is that the audiobook does not differentiate between different text types. Is there an extensive summery, then a long form in the book, that the audiobook just reads sequentially? Apparently followed by another summary at the end of the long version? In any case, I feel this could be a 3-4h thing.
Regarding wording, the Joshua Bowen seems to avoid pronouns in favor of long constructs at all costs. You can only hear "the island city of Tyre" a limited number of times in the same or consecutive sentences without it becoming very annoying. This is also not helped by the fact that Seth Andrews reads it in EXACTLY the same intonation each and every time, with an uncanny lack of emphasis on any particular word, which leaves the listener wondering if this repetition is to distinguish the island city from the mainland daughter cities (which I think were never referred to as Tyre?) or Tyre from another island city (which is never mentioned) ...
This is just from the last section, because I still have it in mind. "Child sacrifice" was another example.
In general, the weird intonation by Seth Andrews made me wonder if I was listening to a very good text-to-speech engine for a while, albeit one that that uses a hypercorrected [hʍ] pronunciation reminicent of Stewie Griffin.
