It is evident in the Genesis account that Abram had a religious encounter with a new Deity that became a life changing and revolutionary experience. So radical was the encounter that Abram even heard the voice of his new God and his message challenged Abram like never before.

Thus the journey for Abram began.

In the heart of ancient Jerusalem, there lived an ordinary follower whose journey was anything but ordinary.

After a century of scholarship discounting even the possibility of knowing the Jesus of history, more and more contemporary scholarship is accepting the historicity of the Gospels and defending their reliability. LaGrange writing in the 1920s was the first to expose the prejudices and misconceptions of the German scholarship that rejected the miracles of Jesus and credibility of the believers' testimonies captured in the New Testament. Rev. Murphy-O'Connor does this in this riveting series of talks.

All too often, throughout history, women have been either unrecognized or underestimated. This book focuses on “unrecognized” women in the bible. I struggled with a sound title for this, my third edition of “The Eyewitnesses.” Finally, the word “uncelebrated” emerged as a more powerful word.
