Learn how to read the Bible as literature and fall in love with Gods Word.
We all want to read the Bible verse-by-verse, cover-to-cover, but what happens when you cant get past Leviticus or bog down and quit in Chronicles? How can you make the journey through the Bible spring to life with unforgettable characters, drama, and glittering poetry and prose?
In Reading the Bible: A Literary Guide to Scripture, Dr. Bill Creasy leads you on an unforgettable adventure book-by-book, Genesis through Revelation. Stemming from his popular course at UCLA, The English Bible as Literature, this work delves deeply into the text of the Bible, unveiling its rich literary genres and ancient Near Eastern origins. Recognized as among the top two percent of educators in the U.S., Creasy challenges the notion that the Bible is simply an anthology, instead revealing it as a collection of little books that warrant meticulous exploration.
In this book you will learn how to:
Read the Bible as a unified literary work
Engage each book of the Bible in its proper literary genre
Meet biblical characters as unique people
Discover the subtle techniques of scriptural storytelling
Understand the drama of redemption
With the aim of nurturing knowledgeable readers of Scripture who can both comprehend and apply its teachings within their own life, Reading the Bible serves as an indispensable guide for those seeking a profound understanding of the worlds most influential text.
This book and its companion, Reading the Bible Study Guide, are perfect for group Bible study programs in churches, schools, and seminaries!
