Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people are vitally interested in answers to the big questions of life. Where did we come from? Why are we here? What makes us tick or what is the nature of humankind? How did we get in the predicament we are in? What is our future? We avidly read all kinds of literature on human beginnings, human psychological makeup, the present state of human affairs, and human destiny. We consider any literature that deals with these questions relevant and timely. Preeminent among all literature about the big questions of life is the Holy Bible. Not only does it report human opinions, but also it gives divine insights into all the issues of life. Thus, it gives perspectives and answers available nowhere else. Viewed from this standpoint, the Bible is not some book out of the musty past that has only antiquarian interests for a few with a nostalgic bent; but it has a vital, contemporary relevance. Dr. Vos brings the Bible to life, not only as he recounts the events of biblical history, but also as he makes it relevant for the readers of the twenty-first century. Book jacket.

Book excerpt: A new version of Kathleen Nielsons acclaimed book that addresses high school students with the aim of encouraging and equipping them to engage in effective study of the Bible. The most crucial way we can prepare young people for the challenges that lie ahead is to arm them well with the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. This book lays the foundation: it explains what the Bible is, and what that means for how we should study it. Five fundamental truths are clearly presented: the Bible is God speaking; powerful; understandable; literary; one whole story. From each of these truths come practical implications for why and how we study the Bible along with concrete examples and study questions that lead students in personal application. The goal is for high school students to grow not just in a particular method but in a whole understanding of Gods Word and how to let that Word speak effectively into our lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we first pick it up and open it, the Bible can seem confusing and perhaps even frightening. Here is this bulky book, made up of seventy-three sections with unfamiliar titles such as Deuteronomy, Ecclesiastes, Colossians, and Corinthians, with numbers in front of almost every sentence, rarely any pictures, and perhaps a few maps of ancient areas such as Mesopotamia, Assyria, and Judah. Since the Bible looks like a book, we may start to read it as we would any other book, hoping to move from cover to cover. Then we begin to wonder, Who wrote this? When was it written? What kind of writing is this: History? Science? Biography? Fiction? What am I supposed to get out of it? As (or if) we keep reading the Bible page by page, section by section, we soon realize that this is no ordinary run-of-the-bookshelf volume. Without a guide the Bible is likely to remain the book most often purchased but not very often read and even less often understood. To rescue Bible readers and students from turning their initial enthusiasm into boredom, Gregory Dawes gives us this Introduction to the Bible, the indispensable prologue to the entire series of the New Collegeville Bible Commentary. Dividing the contents into two parts, the author first describes how the Old and New Testaments came to be put together, and then explores how their stories have been interpreted over the centuries. In the words of Dawes, this very broad overview of a very complex history offers the general reader a helpful framework within which to begin to understand the Bible. The author writes clearly, frequently seasoning his explanations with crisp examples. This book anchors individual and group Bible study on the solid foundation of basic biblical vocabulary and concepts. Gregory W. Dawes is senior lecturer in both religious studies and philosophy at the University of Otago (New Zealand). He undertook graduate study at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome, where he completed the Licentiate degree, before receiving a PhD from the University of Otago in 1995. He has written several books, the most recent being The Historical Jesus Question: The Challenge of History to Religious Authority (Westminster John Knox, 2001). He is currently researching Christian responses to the work of Charles Darwin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When People Read the Bible, they are often frustrated by the wide gap in time and culture that separates them from the original readers. The aim of the The AMG Concise Bible Commentary is to bridge the gap by providing the sort of information that ordinary readers are looking for in their search for a clearer understanding of the Bible. With a clearer understanding, the Bible becomes more relevant. The AMG Concise Bible Commentary also bridges the gap between a technical Bible commentary and the person who has little technical knowledge when it comes to understanding the Bible. The commentary is based on a firm Biblical scholarship, but the reader does not have to be a Biblical scholar to understand it. It retains its credibility as a reliable reference work, yet presents the material in an easy-to-read and non-technical style. It is simple, but not simplistic. It seeks to be true to the Biblical material, while at the same time being helpful to the reader. Book jacket.

Book excerpt: This text provides a comprehensive and definitive introduction to the literature, cultures, and theologies of the early Jewish and Christian traditions. Designed to be read with selected passages from the Bible and the Apocrypha, An Introduction to the Bible offers essential information to students with little or no experience in the academic study of religion. It will help students gain a solid background for future work in biblical studies. The revised edition includes information regarding new directions in biblical studies, a revised bibliography, and a subject index - as well as maps, charts and photographs. "This volume is pedagogically self-aware. Here speak teachers who live close to the teaching environment. The narrative account of a great deal of material is patient, attentive to detail, willing to pause to provide small instructional clues, all the time keeping the big picture in focus. This second edition of the book attests both to the vitality of its authors and to the positive reception the book has already enjoyed. Given the large cultural crisis upon us, such instruction in a context that reaches beyond 'the choir' is welcome and enormously important. Clear, well organized, up to date, and reflective of reliable scholarly consensus. Most important, I suspect, is the likelihood that its student-users will sign up for more scripture study....[The book] will help students generate not only a beginning with the Bible, but a long-term interest." --Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia. "As most instructors of introductory survey courses in biblical studies will attest, finding a suitable textbook can be quite a challenge. The revised edition of An Introduction to the Bible marks a strong contribution to the field. It is a well-structured, clearly written textbook. The authors incorporate many of the newest discussions regarding the formation and subsequent understandings of both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. Students using this book will be exposed to the rich content of ancient Near Eastern studies. They will also find themselves challenged to read these classical texts using some of the most recent hermeneutic arguments in circulation....An Introduction to the Bible provides an excellent entry point for a critical approach to the sacred texts of Judaism and Christianity."---C. Shaun Longstreet, Texas A&M University, excerpted from the Review of Biblical Literature, August 2003.

Their Introduction to the Bible surveys the content of all the biblical books, section by section, focusing on the Bible s theological themes.
