The main divisions of the text are those provided by the New English Bible itself. The text is further subdivided for the purposes of the commentary, which is printed in short sections following the relevant portion of text. In his introduction Dr McKeating discusses the chronology of the books in this volume, indicating briefly the historical events of the period. He examines the structure and content of these books and shows how these three men, alike in their intensity but utterly different in background and in temperament, reflect three different attitudes to a corrupt society.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49546922656017,"sku":"CIN0385337752A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50897815470353,"sku":"CIN0385337752VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0385337752.jpg?v=1751196200"},{"product_id":"dreaming-the-eagle-book-manda-scott-9780385336703","title":"Dreaming the Eagle","description":"\u003cb\u003eDreaming the Eagle\u003c\/b\u003e is the first part of the gloriously imagined epic trilogy of the life of Boudica. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBoudica means Bringer of Victory (from the early Celtic word boudeg).
