This book was released on 1998-07-28 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first complete guide for students to the present state of biblical studies. The twenty-one specially commissioned chapters are written by established scholars from North America and Britain, and represent both traditional and contemporary points of view. The chapters in Part One cover all the methods and approaches currently practised in the academic study of the Bible, while those in Part Two examine the major categories of books in the Bible from the perspective of recent scholarship - e.g. historical books of the Old Testament, Gospels, prophetic literature. Major issues raised are: the relation of modern 'critical' study of the Bible to 'pre-critical' and 'post-critical' approaches; the place of history in the study of the Bible; feminist, liberationist and new historicist concerns; the relation of Christian and Jewish scholarship; and recent interest in the Bible as literature.

Download or read book The Oxford Companion to the Bible written by Bruce M. Metzger and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1993-10-14 with total page 930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible has had an immeasurable influence on Western culture, touching on virtually every aspect of our lives. It is one of the great wellsprings of Western religious, ethical, and philosophical traditions. It has been an endless source of inspiration to artists, from classic works such as Michaelangelo's Last Judgment, Handel's Messiah, or Milton's Paradise Lost, to modern works such as Thomas Mann's Joseph and His Brothers or Martin Scorsese's controversial Last Temptation of Christ. For countless generations, it has been a comfort in suffering, a place to reflect on the mysteries of birth, death, and immortality. Its stories and characters are an integral part of the repertoire of every educated adult, forming an enduring bond that spans thousands of years and embraces a vast community of believers and nonbelievers. The Oxford Companion to the Bible provides an authoritative one-volume reference to the people, places, events, books, institutions, religious belief, and secular influence of the Bible. Written by more than 250 scholars from some 20 nations and embracing a wide variety of perspectives, the Companion offers over seven hundred entries, ranging from brief identifications--who is Dives? where is Pisgah?--to extensive interpretive essays on topics such as the influence of the Bible on music or law. Ranging far beyond the scope of a traditional Bible dictionary, the Companion features, in addition to its many informative, factual entries, an abundance of interpretive essays. Here are extended entries on religious concepts from immortality, sin, and grace, to baptism, ethics, and the Holy Spirit. The contributors also explore biblical views of modern issues such as homosexuality, marriage, and anti-Semitism, and the impact of the Bible on the secular world (including a four-part article on the Bible's influence on literature). Of course, the Companion can also serve as a handy reference, the first place to turn to find factual information on the Bible. Readers will find fascinating, informative articles on all the books of the Bible--including the Apocrypha and many other ancient texts, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, Pseudepigrapha, and the Mishrah. Virtually every figure who walked across the biblical stage is identified here, ranging from Rebekah, Rachel, and Mary, to Joseph, Barabbas, and Jesus. The Companion also offers entries that shed light on daily life in ancient Israel and the earliest Christian communities, with fascinating articles on feasts and festivals, clothing, medicine, units of time, houses, and furniture. Finally, there are twenty-eight pages of full-color maps, providing an accurate, detailed portrait of the biblical world. A vast compendium of information related to scriptures, here is an ideal complement to the Bible, an essential volume for every home and library, the first place to turn for information on the central book of Western culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catholics are often reluctant to begin reading the Bible, this is for various reasons. Perhaps we hang on to the notion that the Bible is a book meant for display, for recording the dates of family members ' births, baptisms, marriages, and deaths. Or perhaps we once attempted to read the Bible and discovered there a culture entirely different from ours 'and came to the conclusion that the Bible had nothing relevant to say to us in this place and time. Attentive to these and the many other reasons Catholics might give for not reading Scripture, Stephen Binz offers practical explanations that will make the Bible less foreign and more familiar. Introduction to the Bible allows readers to discover how the Bible came to be, how to choose a Bible translation, how to interpret the Bible within Catholic tradition, and how to benefit the most from Bible study. Readers will find practical explanations that will make the Bible less foreign and more familiar. Stephen J. Binz is a Catholic biblical scholar, speaker, and counselor. He did graduate studies at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome and is a member of the Catholic Biblical Association and the Society of Biblical Literature. Binz is the author of numerous books on the Bible, including The Passion and Resurrection Narratives of Jesus and The God of Freedom and Life, both published by Liturgical Press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Companion to Biblical Studies: Being a Revised and Rewritten Edition of the Cambridge Companion to the Bible More than twenty years have elapsed since The Cambridge Companion to the Bible was published. During that period Biblical Research has continued to be active and fruitful, and the old Companion is not sufficient for the wants of the present day. The time has come for the issue of a new edition - or rather, of a new book, which covers most of the old ground, but at the same time contains many important additions. The general structure of the old book remains, but fresh articles have been added, old articles have been re-written, and every page has passed under a revising eye. It is not invidious to single out for mention one of the new articles, for the writer is venerated by all readers of theological literature in Great Britain. The pages devoted to the Revelation of St John are from the hand of Dr Henry Barclay Swete, whose retirement from the Regius Professorship of Divinity took place on Sept. 29, 1915. The present book contains some seventy fewer pages than the old, but the pages themselves are larger. Some of the old articles have been improved by being shortened, and room has thus been found for much new material. Dr Westcott's article on Sacred Books of other faiths has been omitted with much regret, but it was felt that only the hand of the writer could have adapted it successfully to modem days. Special attention has been given to the New Testament. Besides Dr Swete's article there are new contributions from Dr A. E. Brooke, Mr Valentine-Richards and Mr Dean Smith. Another addition is the article on the Theology of the N.T. by Mr G. H. Clayton. Mr Elmslie and Mr Lanchester have written new articles on the Old Testament. The Dean of Wells and Professor Gwatkin have revised their contributions to the Companion of 1892. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
