God's Others: Non-Israelites' Encounters with God in the Hebrew Bible reveals the stories of two-dozen of the "best-kept secrets" in what is often referred to as the Old Testament-the foundation text for the three Abrahamic faiths. Often overlooked or misunderstood, these non-Israelite individuals and groups encounter God through personal or historic revelations. They include: - Melchizedek, King of Salem - Lot, Abraham's nephew - Hagar, Abraham's concubine - Laban, Jacob's brother-in-law - The Pharaoh of the Exodus - Jethro, Moses' father-in-law - Rahab, harlot of Jericho - The Queen of Sheba - Ruth - Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon - The Gentiles of Jonah - Job "God's others" demonstrate that people may approach God by many paths.
