The Bible has profoundly influenced the western world. Many of its
characters and stories are well known and yet, oddly enough, wide
swaths of the Bible are unknown and misunderstood. The laws and
teaching contained within it have shaped contemporary thinking and
jurisprudence in ways many do not realise. Equally important, two
of the world's largest religions-Judaism and Christianity-consider
the Hebrew Bible to be sacred and to contain enduring truths about
beginnings and creation, life and death, the world, and what it
means to be human. This introduction will introduce beginners to
the Bible with simplicity and precision, in an engaging manner. It
will provide a quick overview of the issues related to reading and
studying the Bible as an academic discipline while simultaneously
illustrating the importance of the Bible for religion, western
jurisprudence, ethics, and contemporary conceptions of the family,
morality, and even politics.
