Publisher's Synopsis
A JOURNEY THROUGH THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES shows readers that Biblical Studies is a living, growing, and intrinsically interesting discipline that is pertinent to other fields of study and various aspects of life. The text encompasses literary, sociological, and gender-related materials, as well as traditional historical methods of criticism. By concentrating on pivotal texts from the Hebrew canon and the apocryphal/deuterocanonical books, this text focuses classroom thought and discussion, leaving plenty of room to engage in explorations of Middle Eastern culture and archaeology.
