- Summary:
- What does the Bible say? Fifty Biblical Portraits answers this question through a series of meditative studies of some of the central characters of the Old Testament. From Adam and Eve to Abraham and Moses, from Samson and Samuel to Job and Judith, Paul Beauchamp, S.J., presents, through the translation of Peter Rogers, S.J., fifty brief yet patient reflections on the stories of these and other figures whose lives helped shape the history of biblical Israel. Accompanied by the drawings of Pierre Grassignoux, which are themselves renditions of art works of these figures, each meditation or reflection is a portrait in word and image. Fifty Biblical Portraits is thus a unique way to enter into and reflect upon the rich life and history that is the life and history of biblical Israel.
