NIV, The Story, Hardcover: The Bible as One Continuing Story of God and His People

Product Information

The presumptive incest between Lot and his daughters has raised many questions, debates, and theories as to what the real motives were, who really was at fault, and the level of bias the author of Genesis Chapter 19 had. However, such biblical scholars as Jacob Milgrom, [27] Victor P. Hamilton, [28] and Calum Carmichael [29] postulate that the Levitical laws could not have been developed the way they were, without controversial issues surrounding the patriarchs of Israel, especially regarding incest. Carmichael even attributes the entire formulation of the Levitical laws to the lives of the founding fathers of the nation, including the righteous Lot (together with Abraham, Jacob, Judah, Moses, and David), who were outstanding figures in Israelite tradition. From 1920 to 1933 they lived in Nanjing, on the campus of the University of Nanking, where the couple held teaching positions. Pearl taught English literature at the school. The Nanking Incident led to the couple leaving the campus. In 1934 Pearl got an invitation to the United States to speak at a Presbyterian women luncheon. She left China never to return.

What other book might you compare The Story, NIV: The Bible as One Continuing Story of God and His People to and why?Lut ( Arabic: لُوط – Lūṭ) in the Quran is considered to be the same as Lot in the Hebrew Bible. He is considered to be a messenger of God and a prophet of God. [25] After the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot was afraid to stay in Zoar and so he and his two daughters resettled into the hills, living in a cave. [16] The elder daughter, seeing that there were no men to marry, told the younger that they should instead sleep with their father to continue their lineage. To this end, they plied Lot with wine until he was too drunk to know what he was doing. The elder then lay with her father without his knowing. She then insisted that her sister do the same - which she duly did on the following day. From these incestuous unions, the older daughter conceived Moab (Hebrew מוֹאָב, lit., "from the father" [meh-Av]), father of the Moabites; [17] while the younger conceived Ben-Ammi (Hebrew בֶּן-עַמִּי, lit., "Son of my people"), father of the Ammonites.
