Interpretation Supposing Books The Bronze Bow
He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. –from the Song of David (2 Samuel 22:35)The Bronze Bow, written by Elizabeth George Speare (author of The Witch of Blackbird Pond) won the Newbery Medal in 1962. This gripping, action-packed novel tells the story of eighteen-year-old Daniel bar Jamin—a fierce, hotheaded young man bent on revenging his father’s death by forcing the Romans from his land of Israel. Daniel’s palpable hatred for Romans wanes only when he starts to hear the gentle lessons of the traveling carpenter, Jesus of Nazareth. A fast-paced, suspenseful, vividly wrought tale of friendship, loyalty, the idea of home, community . . . and ultimately, as Jesus says to Daniel on page 224: “Can’t you see, Daniel, it is hate that is the enemy? Not men. Hate does not die with killing. It only springs up a hundredfold. The only thing stronger than hate is love.” A powerful, relevant read in turbulent times.

wowww this book exceeded my expectations! lovvvvveI really liked this book. It reminded me a lot of "The Robe" by Lloyd C. Douglas, which I also liked. I really appreciated getting another perspective of Jesus Christ and how he may have appeared to many Jews. Throughout most of the book, I thought that the descriptions of Daniel's anger was exaggerated and dramatic. Then I finally realized that he truly had these hateful, spiteful feelings and desires for vengeance that blinded him and were really out of control. I guess it's just hard for me
The story of Daniel, a teen at the time of Christ who is consumed by his hatred of the Romans. But as he cares for his sister and encounters Jesus, will his life change? I loved this book when I read it in 8th grade, and every time I read it, I'm pulled in all over again. Amazing and powerful.Read my full review at Carstairs Considers.
I hated this book with a burning passion that could boil a glacier . First of all, if you even enjoyed this book the tiniest bit , do not read this review , youve been warned. Anyways , this book is the most miserable thing Ive ever experienced . Not only did I have to suffer through page after page of mindlessness, I had to take tests , quizzes, and answer comprehension questions about the very book that I wished to light on fire and ban the human race from setting theirs eyes on , let alone
Elizabeth George Speare mostly stuck to colonial New England in her novels - Calico Captive, The Witch of Blackbird Pond, The Sign of the Beaver - but in The Bronze Bow, she pulls the reader all the way back first-century Judaea, a place not that different from pre-Revolutionary Boston. Both places were a battleground between imperial soldiers who would rather been anywhere else, and local angry, disenfranchised young men endlessly seeking a punching bag.Our eighteen-year-old protagonist, Daniel
I read this book alongside my Challenge A student for school. We both enjoyed the story and character development.
