Cruel Tales Crimes in the Bible Volume I

True crime writers bring to life the stories of all sorts of crimes, ranging from the less serious crimes of theft, deception, and betrayal to the most horrific crimes of rape, murder, war crimes, and genocide. In this book, the crime stories don't come from the streets of our major cities or even from modern times. They come from the Bible. In this book, Serge Janouin-Benanti has turned his investigative eye to the pages of the Bible to root out shocking stories of all kinds of crimes. As is his usual practice, he has dissected these stories and reproduced them in the form of thrilling narratives. In these pages, you'll rediscover in a new light the deeds of Cain, Noah, Canaan, Abraham, Lot, Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Joseph, Moses, Phinehas, Joshua, Abimelech, Jephthah, Delilah, Micah, the Levite of Ephraim... Each of these having been a perpetrator, accomplice, witness, or victim to crime. An engaging and unprecedented reading of stories from the Bible.
