Synopsis
Rabin, a scholar of comparative and Hebrew literature based in New York City, says that the Bible conveys its simple message in such a long and complicated series of stories from over so long a time that many people get lost. He offers a guide to help general readers orient themselves from wherever they find themselves in the text, identifying six major genres--storytelling, law, history, prophecy, wisdom, and poetry--each with its own style and reflecting the perspectives of different groups within ancient Israel.
