1. 1. Reading Biblical Literature

   A Student's Introduction to Scripture

   

   An accessible introduction that shows how to read biblical texts as literature and theological argument, surveying major genres (narrative, law, prophecy, psalm, wisdom, gospel, epistle, apocalypse) and offering practical tools—close reading strategies, attention to genre and rhetorical/narrative devices, imagery and characterization, intertextuality, and canonical context—to interpret meaning within historical and religious frameworks; illustrated with examples from both Testaments, it equips readers to analyze structure, themes, and theological claims while balancing literary insight with historical-critical and faith perspectives.
