Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from David the Giant Killer: And Other Tales of Grandma Lopez Bible stories are told once and for all in the pages of the Bible. Were it not that the tale is there given in its simplest form, leaving the reader to provide the background from knowledge or imagination, there could be no possible excuse for the re-telling. Grandma Lopez has permitted herself the license of the story-teller, even to filling in the gaps by the exercise of her own fancy. Thus she has described the early life of the prophet Elijah, about which nothing is known, and in so doing she frames a variant of the legend that makes Phinehas, son of Eleazar the priest, live again in the Tishbite. Equally fanciful is her suggestion as to the etymology of the Masoretic Tishbi. She has a feeling that the appellation is characteristic, rather than geographical, and that it relates in some way to the work of the prophet who brings back God to Israel and Israel to God, and whom both sacred Scripture and legend acclaim as peculiarly the Restorer of fertility, of health, of life, of freedom, of nationality.
