Hello We would like to introduce a book published by Magnes press : If you would like to review this book please contact me. Human Choice Biblical Narrative and the Drama of Choice By Zvi Shimon<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Zvi+Shimon.aspx?name=Zvi+Shimon>
The book Human Choice: Biblical Narrative and the Drama of Choice suggests, in contrast to the dominant position in the field of theology, that humanity and not God stands at the heart of biblical narrative. Underpinning many biblical narratives is a theology that may be termed a "theology of choice", a theology predicated on the belief that human's central task is to choose between good and evil. Theology of choice leads to biblical narratives' focus on the internal conflicts of characters, their struggles and the choices that they must make. The principle that a person's choices determine one's destiny lies at the foundation of biblical narrative and is one of the basic tenets of Israelite belief. In contrast to the belief in a predetermined destiny characteristic of idolatrous culture as evident in many ancient mythologies as well as Greek tragedy, the outlook underlying many biblical narratives is that a person is a free being and is responsible for one's actions and one's ultimate destiny.
