| Résumé : |
This profusely illustrated book is doubly valuable! It introduces the reader to both the content of the Bible and to the life, faith, and history of ancient Israel, early Judaism, and early Christianity.
Part One—an overall introduction to the study of the Bible, including the techniques of Biblical criticism. Part Two—the life, faith, and literature of ancient Israel from the earliest times to the end of Babylonian exile. Part Three—the history of the restored Jewish community from the days of the return through the early years of Roman rule, with a look at some apocryphal and apocalyptic literature. Part Four—the life and literature of early Christianity from Jesus’ life and ministry and Paul’s contributions to early Christian theology and the church’s mission, to the growing hostility between state and church, the persecution of Christians, and the church’s development of an orthodox faith and a more institutionalized structure. The volume includes photographic illustrations, a full subject-oriented bibliography for further reading, and the Westminster Historical Maps of Bible Lands. |
