Sebnem Celepo Celepo itibaren Manara, İsrail itibaren Manara, İsrail

Tarihsel İncil eleştirilerine mükemmel bir bakış. Ehrman, zor bir konuyu "popüler" hale getirmek için bazı nüansları parlatıyor. Zaten bilmediğim bir çok "gizli çelişki" olduğunu bulamadım, ama bence pek çok insanın bilmediği adil bir nokta olabilir. Yapmaya çalıştığı bazı noktalarda bir tür siyah beyaz düşünme de var. Bu, orijinal inançlarına karşı doğal bir tepki olabilir, çünkü yazar aslen İncil'i kelimenin tam anlamıyla doğru ve tarihsel doğru olarak görme eğiliminde değil - ataletten bahsetmeme eğiliminde olan temel / evanjelik bir arka plandan geldi. İncil'in bazılarının (gerçekten Yeni Ahit, bu onun ana odağı olduğu için) tarihsel çelişkilerini bilmekle ilgileniyorsanız, bu sizin için harika bir kitap olacaktır.

Though not my favorite Robert Crais book it was still a fun read. I think Elvis Cole and Joe Pike are some of my favorite characters in fiction.

I peed reading this one, too.

This read was for my book club at the library. I was very excited about it as the setting of Salem MA interested me. The story was multi textured with different perspectives of events coming from different characters as well as the narration. The Whitney women are the main focus of the book, with a gift for seeing the future in the lace they make. The author, spinning the book based on a dream she had, states the book is, at its core, about perception vs. reality and by the end of the book you realize how accurate that assessment actually is. The women see the future in the lace but it's how they interpret what they see as well as how the reader interprets what their reading. Although I didn't feel any strong attachment to any of the characters as a work of literature I found her technique brilliant in it's execution. That is what kept me turning the pages till the end. It was very gothic feeling to me and I wonder if the author was a fan of Phillis Whitney and/or Victoria Holt?

4.5 if I could. I really enjoyed this book and everything that was so different about it :)
