The God of Old: Inside the Lost World of the BibleOur notion of God today all powerful, invisible, and omnipresent is not the same as the God of the Hebrew Bible. So who is this God of Old? And what is His place in the modern spiritual world? James Kugel is renowned for his investigations into the history of the biblical era, a time beginning more than three thousand years ago, when the Bible's earliest parts first took shape. With The God of Old, Kugel goes even deeper, attempting to enter the pages
Our notion of God today -- all-powerful, invisible, and omnipresent -- is not the same as the God of the Hebrew Bible. So who is this God of Old? And what is His place in the modern spiritual world?James Kugel is renowned for his investigations into the history of the biblical era, a time beginning more than three thousand years ago, when the Bible's earliest parts first took shape. With The God of Old, Kugel goes even deeper, attempting to enter the pages of the Old Testament and see God as the Israelites first encountered him.
The God of Old appeared to people unexpectedly; He was not sought out. Often He was not even recognized, at first mistaken for an ordinary human being. The realm of the divine was not as it is today -- a spiritual dimension set off from the material world. The spiritual and the material overlapped, and the realm of the dead was a real domain just beyond the world of the living. Ordinary reality was in constant danger of sliding into something else, something stark but oddly familiar. And God was always standing just behind the curtain of the everyday world.
In this groundbreaking study, Kugel suggests that this alternative spirituality is not simply an archaic relic, replaced by a better understanding. Kugel's picture of the God of Old has much to tell us about God's very nature, and about the encounter between Him and human beings in today's world.
A book to treasure side by side with the Bible, The God of Old is sure to engage scholars and spiritual seekers alike for years to come

Too expensive to rip within hours
Color: Leopard Print Brown, Size: Large(38"x38"x40")
The handle ripped off while carrying, which left a giant hole on the top. The beanbag was in no way overstuffed or heavy. Not worth the money.

Overall good
Color: Leopard Print Pink, Size: Large(38"x38"x40")
It is super cute, I was nervous about the pattern and color because it’s not something I usually go for. But because the fabric is also long faux hairs it’s more of a ridged obre. The handle isn’t as strong as they recommend filling it to. So I recommend bear hugging it to move it around. You can put a lot in it if you want a harder chair but I filled it 3/4 full. The size is a little smaller so it’s more a medium.

Perfect bean bag
Color: Leopard Print Brown, Size: Large(38"x38"x40")
I bought some of the foam filler to go in it but it wasn't enough; However, if you have spare blankets, out of season clothes or anything that's cloth you can fill this up with it! Helps with storage as i rotate my clothes and blankets. It looks great in my room, soft and high quality. And it's easy to wash and clean HOWEVER with the foam, i would recommend a mesh bag so when you have to wash it, you don't get foam everywhere.

Beautiful cow print chair
Color: Cow Print Brown, Size: Large(38"x38"x40"), Color: Cow Print Brown, Size: Large(38"x38"x40")
Even better than expected and very well made. It’s perfect for a barn theme. I only wish it had the filled bean bag inside as an option.
