Rereading the Bible : an introduction to the biblical story

Synopsis

This beginning biblical studies text introduces students to readings of both the Old and New Testament.The authors use an "intertextuality" approach, exploring the Bible by examining individual pieces in depth and considering their relevance and development. This alternative approach to looking at the breadth of the bible—starting with Genesis and moving as far forward as time allows—is gaining popularity in biblical studies, especially with more serious biblical scholars.
