Biblical Fiction

Ravaged by one brother, silenced and betrayed by another, and abandoned by her father, Tamar—once beloved daughter of the king of Israel, and healer of the court—suddenly finds herself in exile, fleeing for her life. But the story continues where the scriptures end: a dangerous journey and tenacious pursuit of her true identity and calling brings her full circle, to her rightful place in the kingdom.

God is a covenant making, covenant keeping God. From the dawn of prehistory, God’s dealings with mankind can be understood through the lens of covenant: A binding agreement of unending loyalty and faithfulness. His early covenants with mankind were one-sided, requiring very little from men in return. All of that changed with the birth of the nation of Israel, and her deliverance from slavery in Egypt through Moses. The Mosaic covenant, also known throughout the Bible as “the law”, encompassed the rest of the Old Testament books through the death and resurrection of Jesus.

This is the incredible story of the journey undertaken by two men. Paul and Barnabas left their homes and risked their lives to cross seas and mountains. They were shipwrecked, beaten and faced the threat of robbery and murder. They were almost killed by floods and spent sleepless nights exposed to storms and freezing mountain temperatures. They travelled to places which had never heard the gospel and brought Jews and Gentiles to Jesus.

Jesus' apostles were not particularly remarkable men at first glance: fishermen, carpenters, even tax collectors! And yet he said, "It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain" (John 15:16). Little is known for certain about what happened to each of them following the Resurrection, yet ancient traditions abound. What were their final moments like in this life? How did each apostle summon such astounding courage to face trial, tribulation, and martyrdom?

Satire is a kind of preaching. Satire pervades Scripture. Satire treats the foibles of sinners with a less than perfect tenderness. But if a Christian employs satire today, he is almost immediately called to account for his "insensitive" and "unloving" behavior. Yet Scripture shows that the central point of some religious controversies is to give offense. When Christ was confronted with ecclesiastical obstinacy and other forms of arrogance, He showed us a godly pattern for giving offense.

In the ancient hills of Moab, Ruth witnesses the brutal reality of sacrificial worship. Shocked and disillusioned, she renounces the gods she once held sacred, seeing them now as instruments for power and control rather than sources of spiritual guidance.

What can we learn by watching Jesus respond to his mother, when she asks him for help, and he changes the water into wine?

And with the “the down and out” Samaritan Woman at the Well, Jesus shows us how to effectively reach those who have been wounded by religion and relationships.

Get ready to laugh! Get ready to tap your toes! Get ready to take a fresh look at what it means to “love your neighbor” and to “turn the other cheek” (not that one, you nitwit!). Set in ancient Jerusalem, SYMPHONY OF LIFE mostly tells the story of Joel, a corrupt tax collector who’s in desperate need of a swift kick in the pants. But there’s also a cadre of irate marketplace vendors all vying to be the one to deliver the humbling blow; a spunky, young widow who wishes she had more than two pitiful mites to cast into the offering box at the temple treasury; a pair of star-crossed lovers.

Very little is known of Mephibosheth from Biblical history. We know that he lived during the rise of the new city of Jerusalem, lived in the palace of David, and undoubtedly witnessed the building of Solomon’s Temple. He would have known of David’s adultery with Bathsheba, his songs and psalms, and the challenges to his power from his son Absalom and others. How did this man, falling from prince to pauper, from able-bodied to a cripple, then restored to the king’s palace, navigate such a turbulent journey?

In the 1950s, as a continuation of Moses, Man of the Mountain, Zora Neale Hurston penned a historical novel about one of the most infamous figures in the Bible, Herod the Great. In Hurston’s retelling, Herod is not the wicked ruler of the New Testament who is charged with the “slaughter of the innocents,” but a forerunner of Christ—a beloved king who enriched Jewish culture and brought prosperity and peace to Judea.

Jesús de Nazaret, rodeado de un nutrido grupo de seguidores, llega a Jerusalén, donde anuncia el advenimiento del reino de Dios, se enfrenta a los cambistas del Templo y declara que los judíos no han de pagar tributo a Roma. Su actividad despierta recelos tanto entre los romanos como entre los sacerdotes judíos, cuya autoridad Jesús pone en entredicho. Unos y otros deciden capturarlo, y el prefecto, Poncio Pilato, lo sentencia a morir en la cruz. Tras ser ejecutado, sus seguidores, horrorizados, se dispersarán y regresarán a Galilea, de donde la mayoría procede. Jesús ha fracasado.

"Hay una miríada de relatos en la tradición judía, y en parte también en la musulmana, que describe a Caín de forma diferente a la versión bíblica; y yo, que al fin y al cabo no soy más que un cuentacuentos, he trabajado sobre esos relatos alternativos." En esta obra, Andrea Camilleri ofrece una visión insólita y sorprendente del primer homicida de la historia. Se trata de un Caín inventor del concepto de elección, y por tanto de la idea de responsabilidad de la que descienden las nociones tan radicadas en la cultura occidental, de culpa y culpabilidad.
