"More than any other book, the Bible offers an amazing collection of fascinating characters ranging from the holiest of the holy to some of the most depraved scoundrels imaginable. Many are mentioned only in passing, yet history and archaeology can often fill in the blanks and flesh them out as exciting human beings. For this reason we have in many cases been able to tell much more about them than the Bible alone reveals." -- Richard R. Losch (from the preface)A comprehensive gathering of persons found in the Bible, including the Apocrypha, All the People in the Bible really delivers on its title: literally all of the Bible's characters appear in this fascinating reference work. From the first article on Aaron to the final entry on Zophar, Richard Losch details each person in a lively narrative style.The bulk of the book consists of Losch's A-Z articles covering the familiar and the not-so-familiar figures in Scripture. Names of people who are found only in genealogies or who had no significant effect on history are included solely in the alphabetical listing starting on page 452. That listing, "All the People in the Bible and Apocrypha," includes pronunciations, brief identifications, and biblical references. Persons covered in greater detail in the main part of the book are identified in bold print.Losch's intriguing look at all the people in the Bible is anything but a dry reference work. This is a book to dip into and enjoy over and over.

Tamar, a beautiful young princess of Israel, Palestine, daughter of King David, was ruthlessly raped by her half-brother, Amnon, who was infatuated with her, ill-advised by his cousin Jonadab to rape her, knowing that she was a virgin. The rape destroyed many lives, including that of Amnon, who was murdered by his brother Absalom, later killed in the civil war, where thousands of lives were lost. The rape had one ripple effect after another on King Davids family and became a national disaster, destroying many innocent lives.

The lectures were delivered quite extemporaneously, without any other preparation than sincere prayer, that God would be graciously pleased to bless his own Word, plainly and simply expounded, to the instruction and edification of those who attended, and they were preserved as delivered, by a reporter whom the congregation assembled there, kindly employed to take them down. These lectures, therefore, consist of a very plain, unadorned exposition of that apostolical Epistle, which next to those addressed to the Romans and the Hebrews, may be said to comprehend the fullest scope of divine truth of any in the New Testament. There are not any vital doctrines which are not fully developed or implied, nor any precepts which are not enforced in the Epistle to the Ephesians, and which must not be consequently treated of, in any consistent scriptural exposition of it. It has been the anxious desire of the writer to adhere with the closest simplicity to the letter of the text. - Preface.
