Description

Book Synopsis
Offers an introduction to one of the core methods of approaching biblical texts.

Trade Review
This is a book to be read at many levels. For the beginner, there is a clear guide to different methods under the broad umbrella of ‘the' historical-critical method. For the more advanced reader, there is also a treasure of material on the history of interpretation, and reflections on the value of historical-critical approaches. Readable but deeply informed, this is an excellent guide to the issues involved in seeking to read the Bible both critically and sympathetically. -- Professor Christopher Tuckett, Pembroke College, Oxford, UK
