.... And Get More Out Of It
Why the Good Book Is a Great Read If you want to rightly understand the
Bible, you must begin by recognizing what it is: a composite of literary
styles. It is meant to be read, not just interpreted. The Bible's
truths are embedded like jewels in the rich strata of story and poetry,
metaphor and proverb, parable and letter, satire and symbolism. Paying
attention to the literary form of a passage will help you understand the
meaning and truth of that passage. How to Read the Bible as Literature
takes you through the various literary forms used by the biblical
authors. This book will help you read the Bible with renewed
appreciation and excitement and gain a more profound grasp of its
truths. Designed for maximum clarity and usefulness, How to Read the
Bible as Literature includes * sidebar captions to enhance organization *
wide margins ideal for note taking * suggestions for further reading *
appendix: "The Allegorical Nature of the Parables" * indexes of persons
and subjects
