Synopsis

This popular book maintains its exploration of the literary, historical, and contemporary worlds of the Bible.Uses a three worlds approach that distinguishes: the literary world (worlds) of the Bible -- the book itself, the historical world out of which the Bible emerged and through which it came to us, and the contemporary world in which we read and try to understand the Bible. In addition, the book discusses the continuing impact of the Bible -- in religion, politics, art, literature, and music.

Product Description

Introduction To The Bible, An- A Journey Into Three Worlds

Review

"One of the features I like about the Hauer and Young text is its attempt to bring the values and ethics of the Bible into the contemporary world through discussion questions. The questions are typically open-ended enough that any student can relate to them... and they allow students to realize that not everyone who reads the Bible understands its message in the same way." ― Naomi Steinberg, DePaul University

"The text's three-world approach is a clear and accessible critical methodology for introducing students to the critical study of religious texts .... It balances the critical scholarship well with the more immediate practical and contemporary concerns of the typical undergraduate student. It does not get bogged down in exegesis, but neither does it merely summarize the Bible as others do. It occupies the perfect middle position ...." ― Jeffrey W. Robbins, Lebanon Valley College
