Book synopsis

The Bible remains the most widely distributed book in history, and yet the circumstances of its origin and development remain a mystery to many. Lost Voices Found: The Bible Retold examines the role of the Hebrew Bible in the lives of Jews in antiquity as well as the part it has played in modern Israeli culture. While readers throughout the ages have sought their own meaning from the sacred text, a few have gone still further and revised and even rewritten the Bible's stories. Delving into Jubilees, a revision of Genesis dating to the Second Temple Period and Shulamith Hareven's modern retelling of Exodus, Joshua and Judges in Thirst: The Desert Triology, Lost Voices Found provides compelling evidence for the mutability of the biblical text. As Hareven retells the ancient stories from the point of view of those left out of the original narrative, she gives voice to the unnoticed and silenced. Lost Voices Found: The Bible Retold examines what happens when people ask themselves...do I agree with the moral of this story?
