"The God Dig" ... the ultimate dig in god-haunted Egypt. Adventure mystery thriller on Amazon
Haunt,
haunted... def. a spirit that haunts a
place or a person, regularly appears in a place, a place visited often, to
recur to the memory, thoughts...
For
me, as an author of Egypt fiction, Egypt is haunted... by eternity, by the gods... and yes, God.
Joseph,
Moses, Exodus...
Do
we have to take the Bible as 'gospel'?
By that I mean
are we required to believe literally in Genesis and the 7 days of creation?
In the story of Jonah being
swallowed by a whale?
In Noah’s ark filled with two of every kind of animal (including
the South American three-toed sloth and the Australian platypus?).
It is the total effect
of scripture that works on us - literal truths as well as beautiful, often shocking
metaphor.
It is not a dry record. It is a divine haunting.
