Download or read book A Biblical History of Israel written by Iain William Provan and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this much-anticipated textbook, three respected biblical scholars have written a history of ancient Israel that takes the biblical text seriously as an historical document. While also considering nonbiblical sources and being attentive to what disciplines like archaeology, anthropology, and sociology suggest about the past, the authors do so within the context and paradigm of the Old Testament canon, which is held as the primary document for reconstructing Israel's history. In Part One, the authors set the volume in context and review past and current scholarly debate about learning Israel's history, negating arguments against using the Bible as the central source. In Part Two, they seek to retell the history itself with an eye to all the factors explored in Part One.

Download or read book Literary Approaches to the Bible written by Douglas Mangum and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the Bible has long included a literary aspect with great attention paid not only to what was written but also to how it was expressed. The detailed analysis of biblical books and passages as written texts has benefited from the study of literature in classical philology, ancient rhetoric, and modern literary criticism. This volume of the Lexham Methods Series introduces the various ways the study of literature has been used in biblical studies. Most literary approaches emphasize the study of the text alone—its structure, its message, and its use of literary devices—rather than its social or historical background. The methods described in Literary Approaches to the Bible are focused on different ways of analyzing the text within its literary context. Some of the techniques have been around for centuries, but the theories of literary critics from the early 20th century to today had a profound impact on biblical interpretation. In this book, you will learn about those literary approaches, how they were adapted for biblical studies, and what their strengths and weaknesses are.

Book excerpt: The analysis of biblical rhetoric has been developed only in the last 250 years. The first half of this book outlines the history of the method known as rhetorical analysis in biblical studies, illustrated by numerous texts. The work of Lowth (who focused on 'parallelism'), Bengel (who drew attention to 'chiasmus'), Jebb and Boys (the method's real founders at the turn of the ninteenth century) and Lund (the chief exponent in the mid-twentieth century) are all discussed, as is the current full blooming of rhetorical analysis. The second half of the book is a systematic account of the method, testing it on Psalms 113 and 146, on the first two chapters of Amos, and many other texts, especially from Luke. Translated by Luc Racaut.

The book is written in five parts in a lucid and clear language. The content is well researched; all the information is Bible-based. Most impressive is part five: Christians should believe the report of the Lord embedded in the Bible His written word, as the author asserted. The authors style is also impressive as he brought his personal testimony right at the end, only to buttress his experience in participating in various mode of worship by the main denominations: Anglican, Methodist, Roman Catholic, and Charismatic. In a subtle way, he corrected critics who are biased or prejudiced about other mode of worship. To quote: All denominations in Christianity, worship God in a slightly different way but rather each does it in accordance with Gods word. In no way can these denominations operate in the same order of worship because the Bible makes a clear distinction on the different methods of worship which I believe is the order of Heaven. He was able to bring out the diversified talents in which Christians made music a thing of joy in Gods houseeach unique to its own task. "The book is informative, inspirational and stimulating...
