A world-renowned scholar reveals how a pivotal transformation in spiritual experience during the biblical era made us who we are today

A great mystery lies at the heart of the Bible. Early on, people seem to live in a world entirely foreign to our own. God appears to Abraham and Sarah, Jacob and others; God buttonholes Moses and Isaiah and Jeremiah and tells them what to say. Then comes the Great Shift, and Israelites stop seeing God or hearing the divine voice. Instead, later Israelites are "in search of God," reaching out to a distant, omniscient deity in prayers, as people have done ever since. What brought about this change?
The answers come from ancient texts, archaeology and anthropology, and even modern neuroscience. They concern the origins of the modern sense of self and the birth of a worldview that has been ours ever since. James Kugel, whose strong religious faith shines through his scientific reckoning with the Bible and the ancient world, has written a masterwork that will be of interest to believers and nonbelievers alike, a profound meditation on encountering God, then and now.

Fake Leather
Color: Green
This purse is NOT REAL LEATHER!.It smells very strongly of chemicals. The lining is polyester. This is false advertising! The only leather is a small piece attached to the tag on the handle. For fake leather, the price is two or three times higher that it should be. I like the size and shape so it will keep it, but never buy such an item from Amazon/China again. Higher price for cheap quality and with false advertising is not good business or a good deal.

PERFECT LINING
Color: Coffee
**4/28/2026** Purchased the Coffee Color I am OCD about my bag lining. The lining in this bag is perfect for me. Stitched directly to the bag how purse linings should be. The color is gorgeous and the bag stands up well while the leather is soft. For the size it has a lot of room. Enough for everything I carry, (including my S7 tablet. Tight fit w my case on, but it fits), with room to grow. **4** stars because the adjustable handle has limitations. Sometimes I like my bag hanging to my hip, other times I like under my arm. This will NOT adjust higher than my hip and I am 5`2. I have been looking for a long time for a satchel type purse that ticks everything I look for in a purse, and other than the adjustable strap, this big is it. Will update as time goes by but for now I would recommend this bag.

Beautiful bag!
Color: Brown
Exactly as pictured. The color is beautiful and rich. The size is perfect, more spacious inside than it looks. Quality in stitching is also very nice. Steel zippers which I love. I use this as a daily bag, looks Durable and has feet so should help make it last. Also comes with a dust bag. Great purchase!
