Book Reviews of Understanding The Bible
Book Review: A Secular and Informative Perspective
Summary: 5 Stars
In studying the Bible, it is difficult to find credible sources that are not too colored with biases. This textbook approaches the study the way one would approach any work of literature: analyzing the historical contexts and the textual contexts to gain a better understanding of the work. While this is a nonsectarian publication, it does have a slight bias from a nonreligious standpoint. It is a good balance to all the religious perspectives out there though. The information is detailed though occasionally I wanted more. But this is a good starting point for those looking to study the Bible seriously.
