I wanted to get this book because I had some
questions that I was hoping this book would explain as the preview
indicated. “Exploring the
Unexplained: A Practical Guide to the Peculiar People, Places, and Things in the Bible answers
all your questions about unusual, hard-to-explain, and difficult-to-understand
stories in the Bible.” When I got the
book, I was disappointed because it had an A-Z listing of things in the Bible,
a brief description and then a Bible verse to go along with it. I had already read the Bible verses relating
to the topic I was interested in, so this was no help. I think this book is a limited Concordance at
best. It does list a lot of obscure
people and places in the Bible and shows you where to find them, but I was
hoping for something that dug a little deeper and pulled in research from
elsewhere to explain what the Bible says on certain topics.
Although
I was disappointed with it for my purposes, I think the book would be good for
Bible trivia games as outlined in the intro to the book. It just wasn’t what it was marketed to be, a
book to explain peculiar things in the Bible.
It just gave a brief description and showed you where to find it.
