What's actually in the Bible? Where do we find the story of Moses
or Jesus's Parable of the Prodigal Son? Who are the main characters
in the books of Joshua and Acts? A Guide to Bible Basics provides a
summary and chapter outline of each biblical book to facilitate
comprehension of its fundamental story and subject matter. This
accessible and concise book presents the basic content of the Bible
with the conviction that readers first need some level of
comprehension of the Bible's stories, poetry, regulations, and
teachings before addressing theological, historical, and literary
concerns for its relevance today. Tyler Mayfield discusses
important people, places, and terms so that the reader can quickly
see the primary focus. This book can be used alone to help readers
in their knowledge of the Bible and is great for beginners or those
in need of a refresher course.
The contributors to this volume address three central approaches in
biblical interpretation: historical settings, intertextuality, and
biblical theology. The first section traces and reassesses the
multifaceted aspects relevant to the historical settings of the
ancient texts, writers, and worlds. The second section describes
the comparative analysis of biblical literature, with
inner-biblical or non-biblical texts, not only to improve textual
meanings but also to deepen the relationship between biblical texts
and their contexts. The final section highlights theological
approaches to the Hebrew Bible, addressing the themes of Jewish
theology, justice, theophany, loss, and trauma, while confronting
significant ethical and theological challenges.
