Book excerpt: A literary history of our most influential book of all time, by an Oxford scholar and Anglican priest In our culture, the Bible is monolithic: It is a collection of books that has been unchanged and unchallenged since the earliest days of the Christian church. The idea of the Bible as "Holy Scripture," a non-negotiable authority straight from God, has prevailed in Western society for some time. And while it provides a firm foundation for centuries of Christian teaching, it denies the depth, variety, and richness of this fascinating text. In A History of the Bible, John Barton argues that the Bible is not a prescription to a complete, fixed religious system, but rather a product of a long and intriguing process, which has inspired Judaism and Christianity, but still does not describe the whole of either religion. Barton shows how the Bible is indeed an important source of religious insight for Jews and Christians alike, yet argues that it must be read in its historical context--from its beginnings in myth and folklore to its many interpretations throughout the centuries. It is a book full of narratives, laws, proverbs, prophecies, poems, and letters, each with their own character and origin stories. Barton explains how and by whom these disparate pieces were written, how they were canonized (and which ones weren't), and how they were assembled, disseminated, and interpreted around the world--and, importantly, to what effect. Ultimately, A History of the Bible argues that a thorough understanding of the history and context of its writing encourages religious communities to move away from the Bible's literal wording--which is impossible to determine--and focus instead on the broader meanings of scripture.

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.
