Résumé : |
Most Bible introductions are the product of one person or present a single perspective. Written by and for people from a variety of faith traditions, Scripture: An Ecumenical Introduction to the Bible and Its Interpretation is the work of fifteen Protestant and Catholic scholars—all members of the same theological faculty, but representing a diversity of backgrounds and approaches.
Part I introduces the Bible’s librarydike character; its geography, history, and archaeology; the books of each Testament; important noncanonical books; the Bible’s various Jewish and Christian forms; and its transmission and translation. Part II covers the interpretation of the Bible at various times, in various traditions, and for various reasons. Offering helpful insight into how Christians (and others) have agreed and disagreed in their approaches to the Bible, it provides students with a clear, succinct introduction to Scripture as divine and human word. |
