Description
Righteous Gentiles in the Hebrew Bible
Ancient Role Models for Sacred Relationships
by Jeffrey K. Salkin.
Now more than ever, gentiles are an integral part of the Jewish community. But they are not new to the Jewish story. In fact, righteous gentiles go back to Abraham. The story of the Jewish people can't be told without them. This engaging book is an informative and inspiring look at the sympathetic non-Israelite characters of the Hebrew Bible and the redemptive relationships they had with the Jewish people. Relying on biblical and extra-biblical sources, it introduces each character, drawing lessons from the life of each that will be relevant to the reader, whether Jewish or Christian.
