Rather than contain vague references to the words and actions of "the LORD" and "God" within the text, The First Seventy offers both seasoned readers/listeners of the Bible and those new to the text a spiritual explanation that can be discussed, debated, and incorporated into each individual's moment-to-moment life. Weaving direct quotations from the Bible into a fluid narrative, The First Seventy: A Retelling Commentary, Creation - The Ten Commandments retells and explains the interconnected story that spans the first seventy chapters of the Bible.

God speaks to us through the Bible. That book embodies his words. Creation itself is the visible embodiment of his power and wisdom. It is the result of his words. This book of his is, in a different way, the effect of his speaking. It is his written wisdom and power. There is his voice to us. The thunder and tempest are his loud voice of grandeur. The sunshine and the gentle breeze are his still small voice. But deeper, clearer, keener, softer, and still more penetrating than all of these is his written word to us.

One reason the Bible has endured for millennia is its ability to reach our common humanness and give uplifting insights about struggle, resilience, and hope.

Charlé con una persona sin hogar en el semáforo en rojo y le dije que eran una bendición por recordarnos el quebrantamiento del mundo, en medio de la abundancia. Me dijo que el Mesías estaba a la vuelta de la esquina viniendo a arreglar las cosas. Pero ¿es el Mesías una persona, M mayúscula? O ¿es el mesías un texto, m minúscula? Si es un mesías texto, entonces no hay necesidad de esperar, ya que siempre ha estado ahí, escondido a plena vista, anhelando ser notado. Si es Mesías persona, entonces tendremos que esperar.

Many theologians, Bible scholars, and others have written commentaries on the Old Testament, attempting to explain the intent and spiritual implications of its ancient writers.

Ruth is the eighth book of the Bible and tells the story of a Moabite woman who married an Israelite and became an ancestor of King David.
