Spina,  Anthony Frank <br/><br/>

<br/><br/> This book offers a probing, insightful look at the ""outsider"" motif running through the Bible. The biblical story about God's covenant with ""insiders"" -- with Israel as the chosen people -- is scandalous in today's cultural climate of inclusivity. But, as Frank Anthony Spina shows, God's exclusive election actually has an inclusive purpose.
