Description
Harvey Cox explores three different lenses through which we can engage with the Bible: as narrative stories, classic texts with academic and theological applications, and a source of dialogue and engagement. By bringing these approaches together, Cox offers a contemporary activist version that wrestles with issues such as feminism, war, homosexuality, and race. This book provides a rich understanding of the Bible's diversity and meaning, one that is perpetually evolving as our understanding changes and deepens from generation to generation. Cox reveals how different readings can enrich our experience of key texts throughout the Old and New Testaments. By integrating literary, historical, and activist approaches, How to Read the Bible offers a living resource for those seeking a deeper appreciation of this ancient text.
