Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Kugel’s essential introduction and companion to the Bible combines modern scholarship with the wisdom of ancient interpreters for the entire Hebrew Bible. As soon as it appeared, How to Read the Bible was recognized as a masterwork, “awesome, thrilling” (The New York Times), “wonderfully interesting, extremely well presented” (The Washington Post), and “a tour de force...a stunning narrative” (Publishers Weekly). Now, this classic remains the clearest, most inviting and readable guide to the Hebrew Bible around—and a profound meditation on the effect that modern biblical scholarship has had on traditional belief. Moving chapter by chapter, Harvard professor James Kugel covers the Bible’s most significant stories—the Creation of the world, Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah and the flood, Abraham and Sarah, Jacob and his wives, Moses and the exodus, David’s mighty kingdom, plus the writings of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and the other prophets, and on to the Babylonian conquest and the eventual return to Zion. Throughout, Kugel contrasts the way modern scholars understand these events with the way Christians and Jews have traditionally understood them. The latter is not, Kugel shows, a naïve reading; rather, it is the product of a school of sophisticated interpreters who flourished toward the end of the biblical period. These highly ideological readers sought to put their own spin on texts that had been around for centuries, utterly transforming them in the process. Their interpretations became what the Bible meant for centuries and centuries—until modern scholarship came along. The question that this book ultimately asks is: What now? As one reviewer wrote, Kugel’s answer provides “a contemporary model of how to read Sacred Scripture amidst the oppositional pulls of modern scholarship and tradition.”

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Scripture History, for Use in Jewish Schools and Families The place which this voulume should occupy in the curriculum of study is easily denned. It should serve as an introduction to the Bible. The Sacred Volume itself was never intended to serve as a text-book for Scripture history. It is undoubtedly the repository of our national history; but it is very much more than this. It is the treasure-house of our religious beliefs, the digest of our civil and criminal code, the guide to our ceremonial observances. To select its historical passages, to place them together so as to form a connected whole, to reconcile their apparent difficulties, has ever proved to the busy teacher an anxious and wearisome task. The want of such a work as the present has accordingly long been felt, and acting upon the suggestion of many of my colleagues, I have endeavoured to satisfy it. Intended for the use of children in Standards III. to VI. of our schools (ages 9 to 13), the book has been written in simple yet progressive language.
