Including the Stranger by David G Firth
New study of a neglected Old Testament theme
David Firth carefully traces out what can be learned of the ways in which foreigners were viewed in the Former ProphetsAlong the way he draws attention to surprises: a foreign prostitute like Rahab becomes an Israelite, and an Israelite like Achan is cut off from the Israelites. Tracing the trajectories, Dr Firth opens up biblical texts that are not as widely known as some passages, and drops tantalizing hints about the ultimate canonical move to the notion of God's people drawn from every tongue, tribe, people, and nation. * D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, USA *
