A Trusted Introduction to the Christian Scriptures
This volume aids students as they engage in their first reading of the biblical text in an academic setting. The second edition incorporates professor and student feedback, adds a glossary, and has been revised throughout.
"This readable and accessible introduction to the Bible is a breath of fresh air for faculty and students tackling the seemingly insurmountable task of learning about the entire Christian Bible in a single semester. This revised edition boasts expanded materials on the biblical writings and contexts, as well as updated suggested readings and a complete glossary to guide readers. This textbook will continue to be a valuable resource in a variety of classrooms, introducing students to the Bible and inspiring them to dig more deeply into its contexts and to interpret it in theologically responsible ways."
--Alicia D. Myers, Campbell University Divinity School
"Engaging the Christian Scriptures navigates well the challenges of beginning academic study of the Bible. It introduces the Bible's foreignness without making it inaccessible, critical approaches without allowing them to steal the spotlight from the Bible itself, the distinct witness of the Hebrew Bible without minimizing the New Testament's claims to continuity with it, the Bible as an object of study without silencing its personal address, and debate about its meaning without making it impenetrable. The second edition builds on these strengths. The electronic resources included with the book aid teacher and student alike in following the clear path the authors have blazed through this pedagogical thicket. Rarely have I received such praise from my students for a textbook choice; but it is Arterbury, Bellinger, and Dodson who deserve the credit for producing an accessible and, yes, 'engaging' introduction to the Bible."
--Will Kynes, Samford University
"From cultural and geographical backdrops, to literary and rhetorical features, to canonical and theological connections, Engaging the Christian Scriptures immerses students in the Bible, introducing tools necessary for reading Scripture well. Helpful charts and illustrations throughout distill complex concepts, and suggestions for further reading offer supplements for students who want to dig deeper. Finally, the glossary compiles terms introduced in boldface within the textbook, providing quick access to concise explanations. From beginning to end, the authors carefully facilitate student learning and exploration. Informative and accessible, this textbook is an excellent companion for study of the Christian Scriptures."
--Kathy Maxwell, Palm Beach Atlantic University
