Overview
The Old Testament primarily tells a story written to, by, and about people of the land—the promised land and neighboring territories. Those at home on the sea were almost always enemies. But with the New Testament comes a startling shift of focus. The disciples take their message to the ends of the earth via the Mediterranean Sea.
In On the Face of the Deep: The Sea in Scripture, Linford Stutzman highlights the importance of sea stories in Scripture. A biblical scholar as well as an expert sailor, Stutzman rereads these passages with insights from history, marine archaeology, ancient texts, and the cultural and physical environment of the Mediterranean itself. His study reveals geographical and cultural details that enhance our appreciation of the drama and significance of the Bible’s sea stories.
