    In Akhenaten: Dweller in Truth, Naguib Mahfouz writes about a young man named Meriamun, who seeks a true and accurate record of the events surrounding the exile and death of the “heretic pharaoh.” He accomplishes this by interviewing all of Akhenaten’s living contemporaries, friends, and political figures. The effect on the reader through this method is the reading of a story through fourteen different points of view. This type of narration almost makes the book a mystery novel, a who-done-it of truth. Shortly after reading the first couple of narratives I began to wonder how truthful the speakers were being, because Meriamun begins with the very people who isolated and fought against Akhenaten, yet they try their best to paint…

The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…
