Rahab is a historical fiction novel written by Waldo Frank. The book is set in ancient Jericho, a city located in the modern-day West Bank, and follows the story of Rahab, a woman who is often referred to as a harlot or prostitute in biblical texts. The novel begins with Rahab working in a brothel and struggling to make ends meet. However, her life takes a dramatic turn when she meets two Israelite spies who have come to Jericho to gather intelligence. Rahab decides to hide the spies from the King of Jericho and helps them escape the city. As a result of her bravery, Rahab is spared when the Israelites attack Jericho and is later integrated into their community. The novel explores Rahab's journey from a marginalized sex worker to a respected member of society and her relationship with the Israelites. Throughout the book, Frank uses vivid descriptions and poetic language to bring the ancient world of Jericho to life. He also delves into themes of faith, redemption, and the power of love. Overall, Rahab is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique perspective on a well-known biblical story.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
