For one-term, freshman/sophomore-level courses in Introduction to the Bible, Introduction to the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, Introduction to the New Testament, The Bible as Literature, Introduction to Religion.
Widely acknowledged as the best one-volume introduction to the Bible, this popular text explores the literary, historical, and contemporary worlds of the Bible, and is ideal for those who have had little or no previous exposure to the subject. Drawing on the most recent trends in biblical scholarship, the authors introduce students to the dynamics of each of these worlds and the methods scholars have developed to study them, and encourage students to engage in lively discussions of the contemporary significance of the Bible. The text is not meant to be a substitute for reading the Bible, but rather enables instructors and students to explore the Bible more meaningfully themselves.

From the Back Cover
Designed for those readers who have had little or no exposure to the academic study of the Bible, this volume is a journey into "three worlds" found in the Bible. An Introduction to the Bible explores the literary world(s) of the Biblical text, the historical world out of which the Bible emerged, and the contemporary world in which we read and try to understand the Bible.
Drawing on their vast teaching experience, the authors examine the contemporary relevance and impact of the Bible through questions at the end of each chapter. In addition, the book features a full chapter on Jewish life and literature between the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and the New Testament, including the Deuterocanon, and demonstrates the continuing role of the Bible in religion, politics, art, literature, and music.
New to this edition:
- NEW―an annotated list of movies and documentary films related to the Bible, including information on how to obtain them for classroom use.
- NEW―discussion of recent controversies over interpretation of the Bible by modern artists and the growing influence of the Bible in American popular culture, including television.
- NEW―commentary on the role of the Bible in the recent flurry of speculation on the possible relationship between the beginning of a new millennium and the end of history.
- NEW―suggested readings from the Bible and discussion questions related to such contemporary ethical issues as homosexuality.
- NEW―inclusion of internet sites for biblical research in an updated and expanded annotated bibliography.
- UPDATED―discussion of recent developments in biblical scholarship on topics such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, archaeology and the Bible, Noah's flood, and the historical Jesus.
