This book provides the first complete guide for students to the
present state of biblical studies. The twenty-one specially
commissioned chapters are written by established scholars from North
America and Britain, and represent both traditional and contemporary
points of view. The chapters in Part One cover all the methods and
approaches currently practised in the academic study of the Bible,
while those in Part Two examine the major categories of books in the
Bible from the perspective of recent scholarship - e.g. historical
books of the Old Testament, Gospels, prophetic literature. Major
issues raised are: the relation of modern 'critical' study of the
Bible to 'pre-critical' and 'post-critical' approaches; the place of
history in the study of the Bible; feminist, liberationist and new
historicist concerns; the relation of Christian and Jewish
scholarship; and recent interest in the Bible as literature.
