註釋
"This book introduces the Bible as one of the greatest works of world literature. Luke Ferretter provides a comprehensive history of the field, alongside detailed readings of the texts of the Bible and the most influential theories in the area. The Bible as Literature: A New Introduction is divided into groups of texts in the Bible by genre-the Pentateuch; the histories; the poetry; the Wisdom literature; prophecy; the Gospels; the letters; and apocalyptic writing-reflecting the majority of courses. Organised into three sections, each chapter begins with a clear introduction to current theories around who wrote and edited each Biblical book. Ferretter then offers detailed and original literary criticism of that book, encouraging readers to pursue similar literary criticism of the Bible themselves. The final section in each chapter discusses a text related to each Biblical book. These texts include visual, musical, poetic, fictional, philosophical, theological, and psychological works. Throughout the guidebook, there are also useful text boxes and discussion questions, which contextualise examples and enrich students' understanding. This engaging and accessible introduction reveals the Bible's significance both as literature and for literary study in light of current Biblical scholarship. It is essential reading for students and scholars of Literature, Biblical Studies, and Cultural Studies"--
