Yours Faithfully presents an anthology of virtual letters from the Bible, in which leading scholars imagine correspondence between biblical characters. Each letter conveys the insights that a given character might have and, together, the letters provide a rich sense of the concerns which propel and characters who inhabit the Bible. The letters are written in a range of styles - from the strictly historical to the very contemporary - and embrace the serious and the playful. The aim is to offer a commentary on familiar texts and events and to continue a long tradition of retelling stories from the Bible.

"For any who wish their biblical study to raise new questions rather than merely answer pre-determined ones, this is thoroughly recommended.'"

"Almost any reader...will find here plenty of things to use or just enjoy.'"
