People Never Ask But Should by Joshua Hinneh Trafford Publishing
book review by Jeanette J. Jennis
Hinneth begins his book quoting many scriptures and his commentary regarding the reviled and condemned Judas Iscariot, recorded in the Bible as the "betrayer" of Jesus. The author asserts that little was known of this man, and using scriptures from The Concordant Literal New Testament as the most current "word-for-word" translation from the Hebrew of the Old Testament and the Greek of the New Testament as sources, he explores the character of Judas.
The literal translation of Jesus' words spoken at the Passover meal with the twelve disciples, was "one of you shall be giving Me up," rather than shall betray Me. After researching the New King James Bible, and various dictionaries, commentaries and concordances, the author concludes that, "It would seem that Judas had been chosen to do the deed. It was a dirty job that nobody wanted, but someone had to do it." It also appears that Judas suffered remorse, and in Matthew 7 Jesus says, "Do not judge, lest you may be judged."
Along with the mysteries surrounding Judas, Hinneh expounds on the Biblical stories of Samson and Deliah, Ruth, and Esther, seeking to clarify many historical points concerning these important characters. Symbolism in the Bible, which is often ignored or misunderstood, is also discussed. Another topic is dietary laws, with quotes from several Biblical sources. Controversial scriptures describing whether or not The Rapture is fact or fantasy are presented.
Hinneh's dedicated questioning and deep commitment to historical accuracy and interpretation, may answer many questions you never thought to ask.
