Overview

The story of Dinah has always intrigued James K. Stewart. Inspired by Anita Diamant’s The Red Tent, he delved further into the male bias that states she was raped. The first thing he noticed was that the main character, Dinah, was voiceless. The second was that Shechem was madly in love with Dinah and willing to pay any amount of dowry. Through deceit and treachery, Simeon and Levi plot the merciless slaughter of a village to avenge one man’s alleged rape of their sister. You are invited to read the story with the Hebrew verbs correctly translated and judge for yourself. Samson is known as a hero, a Nazarene, and a judge. However, Nazarenes were forbidden any form of alcohol, sex with prostitutes, fighting, and killing. Each one of these sins, Samson enjoyed for most of his life. There is no record of him ever making a judgment even though he is said to have been a judge. Esther is the brave young girl who risked her life so that exiled Jews in Persia might not be exterminated. Her story needs to be told and retold. Come, explore these tales of the past with the eyewitnesses who are now Ghosts of the Shephelah.

Praise for Ghosts of the Shephelah, Book 6

“I enjoyed reading the stories of real people in that biblical era. It was interesting how Rev. Stewart used Dinah to bring life to her story and then how other ghosts were introduced to tell their stories.”

—Sandy Hill, marketing consultant, retired

About the Author

James K. Stewart is a retired Presbyterian minister who has always believed that the Old Testament has helped him to understand the vital necessity of Christ Jesus. His many life experiences as a construction worker; scuba instructor; screenplay writer; and writer/director of many theatrical productions have given him an in-depth appreciation that all people, regardless of race or color, suffer and enjoy the same human experiences. Exegeting Scripture from the Hebrew texts gives him an added insight into many fascinating stories.
