Revelation restored
Book Description
In an age where faith meets scholarship, many believers struggle with a profound question: how can sacred scripture contain apparent contradictions and still represent divine truth? David Halivni tackles this challenging intersection head-on, offering a thoughtful exploration for those seeking to reconcile their spiritual convictions with academic biblical criticism.
Rather than dismissing scholarly findings or defending scripture at all costs, Halivni takes a remarkably honest approach. He acknowledges the textual inconsistencies that modern scholars have identified in the Pentateuch, the foundational five books of the Hebrew Bible. These apparent contradictions and signs of multiple authorship have long troubled believers who hold these texts as divinely revealed.
What emerges is a nuanced examination of how sacred texts can maintain their spiritual authority even when they bear the marks of human transmission and editing. Halivni invites readers to consider a more sophisticated understanding of revelation, one that doesn't require perfect textual preservation to maintain divine authenticity.
This work speaks directly to anyone wrestling with questions about the nature of religious authority, the relationship between faith and reason, and how ancient wisdom can remain relevant in our modern world. For spiritual seekers who refuse to choose between intellectual honesty and religious devotion, Halivni offers a path forward that honors both scholarly inquiry and sacred tradition.
