Textual Knowledge: Teaching the Bible in Theory and in Practice is
a book aimed at anyone who wishes to explore what it means to teach
the Bible, one of the foundational texts of Western culture. In
this volume the author explores the largest issues involved in
Bible teaching: What are our purposes? What are the outcomes that
we are looking for? How do we conceptualize the Bible as the
subject matter? How do we develop theories of Bible teaching? And
how do we move from theory to practice? Looking at a variety of
alternative conceptions, Textual Knowledge helps offer clarity
about a teacher's goals and practical advice about what it means to
attain those goals. In addition the book explores the relationship
between knowledge of Bible and teaching the Bible. What kind of
knowledge does the Bible teacher need to have? How must that
knowledge of subject matter be structured and conceptualized? How
might differing scholarly conceptions of the discipline influence
teachers' ways of thinking about the Bible. Drawing upon recent
research in the field of general education, the author draws
connections to the domain of Bible education. Asa book that
embraces both theoretical issues and practical concerns, Textual
Knowledge explores matters of central concern to Jewish educations
in particular, but is relevant to educators from other religious
traditions and for those teaching the Bible in secular institutions
such as universities as well. At its heart the author seeks to
improve Bible pedagogy - making it deeper, richer, more reflective
and more powerful for students of any age and in any setting.
