God, Nimrod, and the World presents the perspectives of more than two-dozen authors on the controversial sport of hunting, surveying the relationship between the blood sport and the salvation religion of Christianity. The first half of the book provides sketches of the diverse interpretations of hunting in Hebrew and Christian cultures of the last two millennia, finally giving voice to those in the field who are both practitioners and persons of faith. The second half offers prescriptions for the place of hunting in the life of contemporary Christians, with perspectives arguing for prohibition to those contending that hunting has a practical, even perfecting, place in the life of faith. The contributors, who hail from North America and the United Kingdom, include biblical scholars, theologians, philosophers, ethicists, historians, and sociologists, as well as professional athletes, celebrity hunters, teachers, musicians, healthcare professionals, and a soldier.

Tired of leading a shepherd’s life, Nimrod yearns to leave the small lives and tents of his village to seek out the excitement and glory found in the big city beyond—Babel. Although cautioned by the love of his life, Semiramis, that she will only wait so long for him to return, Nimrod proceeds to go on a journey with his four best friends—Jared, Zag, Fenchristo, and Raya—all of whom have honed their fighting skills to great heights with the bow, arrow, and sword. Nimrod: The Mighty Hunter chronicles the journey of the biblical character of Nimrod—the rebellious king often associated with the Tower of Babel. From the quiet, serene surrounds of his village to the danger and fighting of the city, read as Nimrod trains up the Babylonian army to protect Babel and discover how this so-called “gang of five” embark on an energetic race for supremacy. Training an ever-increasing army to destroy surrounding towns, Nimrod and Semiramis become engrossed in their newfound powers. A cautionary tale of Noah’s great-grandson comes alive from the pages of the Bible in this captivating retelling of Nimrod’s rise to power. Experience how unbridled passions—even with the purest intent—can lead some men and women straight to hell. Some, but not all.
