Rahab – a character study. Part of the Dispelling myths series. Chapter one.

Posted on 03/16/2018 by

I am not so sure there are myths involved, as it is more a case of suppositions. My interest in Rahab started long ago, as I heard the stories, but rarely ever read the story for myself. If you follow my … Continue reading →
