Author Description

"In Values that shape the world, Faye Lincoln has written a desperately-needed book that reminds those of us who were educated before our world was redefined, and calls out to those being educated today in the 'new' version of this historic period, what a God-centered and value-centered existence the world believed in and was striving to achieve. Values that shape the world reminds us that there exists a brilliant and insightful handbook on how humans should behave when it comes to our interactions with each other and the world around us. It defines in detail what morality and ethics are when given by the Creator. This book is, of course, what is called the Tanach/Bible by the Jewish world, the Old Testament by the Christian world, and the First Revelation by the Islamic world. Lincoln takes us on a whirlwind tour of the Tanach/Bible and shows us how many incredible, significant eternal truths were laid out by our Creator for humans to live by. It is a wake-up call to all of us--a reminder that to successfully move forward as a civilized society, we need to return to the ideals and values of the Tanach/Bible."--Afterword by Rabbi Yotav Eliach.
