The Hebrew Bible by Frederick E Greenspahn
Fresh understandings concerning the Bible have not filtered down beyond specialists in university settings. This volume seeks to meet this need, with chapters describing how archeology, theology, ancient studies, literary studies, feminist studies, and other disciplines understand the Bible.
"The goal of the present book is to try to introduce lay Jewish audiences to some of the results of modern biblical research" * Journal of Jewish Studies *
"An excellent supplementary textbook for survey courses on the Hebrew Bible or on biblical scholarship." -- John J. Collins,Yale University
"This superb collection written by scholars for non-specialists should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand the most important issues in the contemporary study of the Bible." -- S. David Sperling,author of The Original Torah
"This collection admirably bridges the gap between biblical scholarship and lay readership, allowing laypeople to engage in the ‘conversations’ that have been ongoing for decades in academic circles and to ‘reach their own conclusions." * Choice *
