For one semester/quarter courses in Introduction to the Bible, Introduction to the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, or The Bible as Literature.
An Introduction To The Bible approaches the Bible by considering it from three different 'worlds'-- literary, historical, and contemporary worlds. This unique approach underscores the dynamics of each of world and the methods scholars have developed to study them. The authors are especially careful to distinguish the historical and literary worlds for students new to the discipline. Students are also encouraged to consider and discuss the contemporary significance of the Bible.

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
