This book offers an ideal introduction to the complex field of modern biblical studies. In nine short chapters, readers are introduced to questions of inspiration, canon and authority. Chapters follow on historical approaches to the Bible, such as source, form and redaction criticism. Comparisons with other literature, such as ancient flood stories or Egyptian psalms help to set the context for this, as well as an analysis of the purpose of each of the four Gospels. The historical approaches conclude with a discussion of the text of the Bible, asking such questions as, How did we get the Bible? Why do modern versions of the Bible differ from one another? In the second section, Moyise considers a number of approaches that seek to explain why people interpret the Bible in such different ways. Beginning with literary criticism, the book considers how texts 'speak' to readers and influence their attitudes, emotions, and behaviour. This is followed by liberation and feminist approaches, which consider how gender, ethnicity, and social location affect what people regard as important and hence how they interpret the Bible. The book concludes with a variety of theological approaches used by those who consider the Bible to be sacred scripture.

Condition: Como nuevo. : Introducción concisa al estudio bíblico que proporciona una guía clara y útil para el estudio de las Escrituras. Describe las formas y los valores de los diferentes enfoques disponibles, desde el histórico hasta el feminista y desde la liberación hasta el literario, al tiempo que ayuda al lector a apreciar lo que cada enfoque añade a nuestra comprensión del texto. En nueve capítulos cortos, se introduce a los lectores en cuestiones de inspiración, canon y autoridad. Los capítulos siguientes tratan de los enfoques históricos de la Biblia, como la crítica de fuentes, formas y redacción. Las comparaciones con otra literatura, como las antiguas historias de inundaciones o los salmos egipcios, ayudan a contextualizar esto, así como un análisis del propósito de cada uno de los cuatro Evangelios. Los enfoques históricos concluyen con una discusión sobre el texto de la Biblia, preguntando, ¿Cómo obtuvimos la Biblia? ¿Por qué las versiones modernas de la Biblia difieren entre sí? En la segunda sección, se consideran varios enfoques que buscan explicar por qué la gente interpreta la Biblia de forma tan diferente. Comenzando con la crítica literaria, el libro considera cómo los textos 'hablan' a los lectores e influyen en sus actitudes, emociones y comportamiento. A esto le siguen los enfoques de liberación y feministas, que consideran cómo el género, la etnia y la ubicación social afectan a lo que la gente considera importante y, por tanto, a cómo interpreta la Biblia. El libro concluye con una variedad de enfoques teológicos utilizados por aquellos que consideran la Biblia como escritura sagrada.
