While much has been written about the power, danger, and stewardship of money, little has been written about what money actually is and whether or not money itself is moral.

And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world.

Renowned critic and translator Robert Alter’s The Art of Biblical Narrative has radically expanded our view of the Bible by recasting it as a work of literary art deserving studied criticism. In this seminal work, Alter describes how the Hebrew Bible’s many authors used innovative literary styles and devices such as parallelism, contrastive dialogue, and narrative tempo to tell one of the most revolutionary stories of all time: the revelation of a single God.
