520			_a`No single approach to reading the Bible can do justice to its complex history and content. There are as many different ways of understanding Scripture as there were people involved in its composition. One Bible, Many Voices offers a fascinating introduction to Scripture that shows students how best to read the Bible today.` `Susan Gillingham first gives theological, historical, and literary insights into the development of Scripture and discusses each of the traditional approaches to biblical interpretation. She then advocates a pluralistic reading of Scripture that, in balancing the best from each approach, fully acknowledges the many voices that speak to us in the Bible. Finally, Gillingham uses Psalm 8 to illustrate how a pluralistic approach can enrich our understanding of Scripture. Book jacket.`
