In this second book of his popular lexical trilogy, Frederick Buechner profiles more than 125 of the Bible’s most holy and profane people — and one whale. In his lively and witty prose, Buechner brings to life such moments from scripture as:
- Adam’s pangs of regret for a remembered Eden
- Delilah’s last glimpse of Samson as they dragged him away
- Lazarus’s first impressions upon rising from the dead
To read Peculiar Treasures is to realize that many of these legendary figures are not who we thought they were. But they are — in their human dreams, ambitions, and imperfections — very much like us.
