Synopsis

Michael Trainor provides a way into reading and making sense of the Bible. Each chapter contains a description of a different literary form or style, such as a myth, epic or song, a suggestion for understanding the central message contained within the particular style of Biblical literature, and an example drawn from the literary form being explored. Through Trainor's clear explanation of the different literary forms, the beginning reader can come to a greater appreciation and understanding of the richness found in the Scriptures.
