    With a Mighty Hand: The Story in the Torah - A Note from Artist Daniel Nevins. Amy Ehrlich retains the beauty, drama, and mystery of the Torah in this unique adaptation, gorgeously illustrated with paintings by Daniel Nevins. The Torah is the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, which Christians call the Old Testament. It tells the story of the beginning of the Jewish people and their relationship with God. From Adam and Eve to the first patriarch, Abraham, to Moses, who led his people to the promised land, the stories in the Torah have been studied and revered since it was first written down nearly 3,000 years ago. Now in this glorious volume, Amy Ehrlich crafts an authentic, lyrical adaptation that is presented as a continuous narrative, one that honors the complexities of the original text. Daniel Nevins’s richly hued paintings bring the ancient wonders of the Torah to resonant life, making this truly a gift to savor, share, and treasure.

    Artists Note

    by Daniel Nevins
    Religion and art have always been entwined in my imagination. From my earliest memories, they were linked in a way that I did not question. The impulse toward each was the same and the feeling I had while involved in each was of a profound remembering. So being presented the opportunity to make these paintings for Amy Ehrlichs retelling of the Torah felt like a perfect fit. And it all began with the Word. I was familiar with most of these stories, but some were new to me and very surprising. (Balaam, the sorcerer, springs to mind.) The first six months of the two years it took to complete this project consisted of reading the text over and over and trying to embody these stories with paint and wood. In every case it was a matter of getting to the essential nature of each scene, without distractions, to let the stories breathe on their own. I dreamt of them often. With a Mighty Hand is my humble offering. I have done my best to live up to the task given me. It continues to feel like a homecoming, a circle completed. I am altered by the journey taken and it is my hope that the readers imagination is stirred by these remarkable stories.
