"In The Beginning: Critical Concepts for the Study of the Bible" is
not an introduction to biblical content in the traditional sense.
This text asks students to think like critical biblical
interpreters. Each essay presents important questions about the
Bible and the complex nature of biblical interpretation and
provides each student with the means to address these questions
with skill and sophistication. These essays are neither exhaustive
treatments of the respective topics nor are they intended to answer
all of the questions surrounding the topics. To provide a
foundation for future study, the author develops a process of
thinking and learning by which students can begin to independently
raise further questions and generate new and more creative
insights. These sixteen essays are written for those who are
beginning the critical study of the Bible. Aageson believes that in
thinking seriously about the Bible, critical minds will be honed;
and that in bringing passion and curiosity to the study, enduring
wisdom may be achieved. Every student of the Bible should read this
text.
