Sobre IBD

Gregory Mobley plunges beneath the Bible’s surface to reveal its 'backstories' -- the tales that constitute the backbone of the people Israel and of the body of Christ. Viewing the Bible as 'essentially, relentlessly story,' Mobley provides an easy-to-understand sevenpart thematic overview of the Bible that guides readers through the drama of the Hebrew Bible, highlighting the interconnectedness of biblical stories. Each story is a variation on a single theme -- the dynamic interplay between order and chaos. Intriguing Ancient Near Eastern myths, personal anecdotes, and popular cultural references from movies, musical theater, and writers ranging from Dr. Seuss to William Blake pepper the book throughout. Arresting chapter and section titles such as 'It’s Love That Makes the World Go ’Round' and 'Lord Bezek’s Big Toes' capture the imagination, and Mobley’s own lyrical, energetic writing style -- exercised on vibrant biblical material -- propels the reader forward. Readers will find his enthusiasm contagious!

  • Judges
    Gregory Mobley
    Judges is the Bible’s end-of-the-frontier epic. It depicts the first generations of Israelite life in Canaan and portrays a set of memorable protagonists, the 'judges,' who were wild enough to tame a wilderness, but too wild to persist into the next era of royal courts, central shrines, and political states. The core of Judges consists of a series of narratives about the outlaw...
  • Samson and the Liminal Hero in the Ancient Near East
    Gregory Mobley
    The primary problem that Mobley’s book deals with is the odd character of Judges 13-16 and of its hero. Samson’s special quality, noted by virtually all interpreters, is defined here as liminality. The liminal situation, which includes a movement away from society, the lack of social restraints, and the status of outsider, is a permanent condition for Samson. The secondary purp...
