The Bible is one of the masterpieces of world literature. It is the
most widely distributed of all books and contains some of the
world's greatest literature - from the songs of praise in Psalms to
the great stories in the book of Genesis. ""Critical Companion to
the Bible"" examines the Bible as a work of literature, focusing on
its language and verbal structures and on the imaginative quality
of its thought. This invaluable resource is an essential addition
to high school and college literature and religion classes. The
coverage includes: an essay entitled 'Reading the Bible', providing
an overview of the various approaches critics have taken to
interpret the Bible and examining the question of authorship of the
biblical books and the historical development of the biblical
canon; in-depth alphabetical entries - each containing a synopsis,
a commentary section, and subentries on the main figures - on all
the books of the Bible; alphabetical entries on important people,
places, concepts, and topics related to the Bible Appendixes,
including a list of books of the Bible as categorized by different
faiths; a chronology; and a list of important secondary resources,
including scholarly Web sites.
