From the Back Cover
Adam L. Porter provides a unique and valuable resource for students who are reading and studying the Bible. Using a series of questions in a workbook format, Porter directs students in a careful reading of biblical texts, helping students understand and see how scholars debate important issues in biblical interpretation. As Porter writes:
- The genesis of this book was when students asked me to give them a family tree for Abraham's family. I did so and then realized they would have learned more if I pointed them to the biblical verses and asked them to draw the genealogy themselves. I decided to write a whole book that does just this: points the students to verses and chapters and asks them to think creatively.
- Valuable text for all introductory Bible, Hebrew Bible, or New Testament courses
- Students taught scholarly techniques for analyzing biblical materials (including source criticism, redaction criticism, form criticism, and literary methods of analysis)
- Questions-based organization, with simple questions leading up to more complex questions for analysis
- Suggestions for further reading for each chapter
