In How To Read the Bible, renowned religion expert and Harvard Divinity School professor Harvey Cox deepens our experience of the Bible, revealing the three primary ways we read it, why each is important, and how we can integrate these approaches for a richer understanding and appreciation of key texts throughout the Old and New Testaments. How To Read the Bible explores three different lenses commonly used to bring the Bible into focus: - Literary-as narrative stories of family conflict, stirring heroism, and moral dilemmas;
- History-as classic texts with academic and theological applications;
- Activism-as a source of dialogue and engagement to be shared and applied to our lives.
By bringing these together, Cox reveals the Bible in all its rich diversity and meaning and offers us a contemporary activist version that wrestles with issues of feminism, war, homosexuality, and race. The result is a living resource that is perpetually evolving as our understanding changes and deepens from generation to generation.
