The Book of God
Wangerin does a magnificent job with this effort to write the broad scope
of the Bible, from the call of Abraham to the birth and development of the Christian
church, in a refreshing, gripping way. Wangerin's command of the language--prose and
poetry alike--is no surprise, but I must confess to surprise and delight at his ability to
make the old, familiar, oft-read accounts of Scripture seem eye-openingly new.
The Book of God's 850 pages seem short, and familiar and less-familiar passages ring
with music and intrigue...a magnum opus of an already accomplished author.
