Description

Exploring the Old Testament: A Guide to the Historical BooksThe historical books, from Joshua to Ezra and Nehemiah, form the narrative backbone of the Old Testament. Without them the Pentateuch would stop cold and the Prophets would hang in suspension. Even the Psalms and Wisdom literature would lose some of their luster for lack of a setting. Without these historical books the New Testament would be resolving an incomplete narrative, answering a question only half and hesitantly posed. For all these reasons

The historical books, from Joshua to Ezra and Nehemiah, form the narrative backbone of the Old Testament. Without them the Pentateuch would stop cold and the Prophets would hang in suspension. Even the Psalms and Wisdom literature would lose some of their luster for lack of a setting. Without these historical books the New Testament would be resolving an incomplete narrative, answering a question only half and hesitantly posed. For all these reasons and more, it is a tragic fact that many of us today cannot give a brief and coherent account of this story. We fear that books with names like Judges, Kings and Chronicles would bore us. But nothing could be further from the truth. For the story they tell is full of action and intrigue, tragedy and suspense, vivid characters and memorable events. They are the stuff of great art and literature, and they have inspired men and women to lives and deeds of uncommon faith and courage. Exploring these books is essential for a true education, whether religious or otherwise. In this guidebook, Philip E. Satterthwaite and J. Gordon McConville introduce us to the content and the context of these historical books. We view them within the setting of ancient history and history writing, and come to appreciate their literary artistry, their role within the Scriptures of Israel, and their lasting value as theological and ethical resources. Designed especially for students, Exploring the Old Testament, Volume 2: A Guide to the Historical Books overflows with interesting and helpful features that encourage avid exploration and the joy of learning.

Amazing how fast it goes on without the white look!
This stuff is amazing!! I wear baby sunscreen because I rub my eyes a lot, but most of it takes forever to rub in and not look white. This rubs in immediately like any other sunscreen, and it doesn’t burn my eyes at all, not even when I scratch my face and then rub my eyes. So it’s great for small children too, not just 75 yr old ones!

Used for years
I have used this sunscreen since my kids were toddlers. I don’t find it sticky and it turns clear pretty fast. I don’t typically need to reapply on them more than once.

Works great for the whole familiy
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion Twin Pack
We live in the desert so with the constant sun exposure, our family needs a reliable sunscreen that is affordable, effective and gentle on skin. This product does all that. It has no fragrance and we've had no skin reactions or irritation. It does leave a white cast, which is to be expected given the active ingredients. We are fine with it...it helps show where it's been applied. We use it a lot for pool days so the price point is good to stay stocked up. Don't let the "kids" label fool you...if it works for kiddos, it works for adults too!

Safe, Strong Sun Protection for Little Ones!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion Twin Pack
Banana Boat 100% Mineral Kids Sunscreen has become our go-to for sunny days! I love that it’s made with natural, mineral-based ingredients and doesn’t have all the harsh chemicals. It goes on smoothly for a mineral sunscreen—yes, there’s a bit of a white cast at first, but it rubs in nicely and gives me peace of mind knowing my kids are protected with a gentle, effective formula. We’ve used it at the beach, playground, and just running around outside, and it holds up really well. No irritation, no breakouts, and best of all—no sunburns! It’s also water-resistant, which is perfect for active little ones. I’m so glad to have found a sunscreen that checks all the boxes for safety, protection, and reliability.
