Unlike other introductory texts, the Bible that this book speaks about is the Jewish one—with the three-part TANAKH arrangement, the sequence of books found in modern printed Hebrew editions, and the chapter and verse enumerations used in most modern Jewish versions of the Bible. In an afterword, the author discusses how the historical-critical method can help contemporary Jews relate to the Bible as a religious text in a more meaningful way.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Marc Zvi Brettler</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Criticism, interpretation, etc</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- OT</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Exegesis</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">221.6</classification> <classification authority="ddc">B845-M31</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780195325225</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15524/4.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15524/4.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071505.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
