Book excerpt: Serious Bible readers, including biblical scholars, Sunday Bible teachers, laypersons of church, and even the Sunday school kids, ask the question, “Is Balaam a good or bad person?” or “Is Balaam a prophet of God or a pagan diviner?” However, nobody has provided a relieving answer for the question up to this day. Then, what does the Balaam story in the passage of Num 22–24 tell us about the character of Balaam? More fundamentally, what does the passage want readers to know? This book suggests a new way for Bible reading, especially the Old Testament. The Old Testament readers can discover a proper strategy to understand the intention and message of every single passage of the Old Testament through the ways that are suggested in this book.
