There is an increasing recognition that we need to engage the Bible
as a collection of books. But we haven't been taught to read or
study the Bible on the book level. Almost all of our approaches to
the Bible are based on chapters, verses, or sections, so how do we
change this? The units of meaning in the Bible are not chapters, or
verses, or topical sections, but the literary compositions that God
inspired to create the Scriptures. If we want to know the meaning
of God's word, we need to engage these compositions on their own
terms. This means understanding why they were written, what kind of
writing they are, how they are put together, and what major themes
and ideas they develop and pursue. This book answers these
questions for each of the books in the Bible by presenting expanded
versions of the book introductions included inThe Books of The
Bible, an edition of the Scriptures from Biblica that presents the
biblical books in their natural literary form, without chapters and
verses.
