Description
For courses in Introduction to the Bible, Introduction to the Old and New Testaments.
This beginning biblical studies text introduces students to readings of both the Old and New Testaments. This text is distinctive because it abandons the traditional genre of biblical introductions and chooses to focus on key texts and themes. The authors use an "intertextual" approach, exploring the Bible by examining individual pieces in depth, considering their relevance and development.
