Review:
I have had the privilege of following the development of this book. It is everything I had expected. It genuinely presents the Bible as literature in a way that can be used by public and private schools. Even teachers with little or no background in the Hebrew scriptures and/or the New Testament will easily be able to bring this valuable material to their students. The fact is that there are 1000's of references in our culture (and others) to events and concepts from the Old and New Testaments. I recently saw the digital proofs. Along with great content the book is full of beautiful pictures and illustrations. It's a book you will want to own and bring to your school. --Marco Ciavolino
This book can provide a valuable education to middle and high school students. A 43 page preview can be read at by going to books dot google dot com and then typing in the title of this book. If you are on the fence about buying this book you should try the google book search to read the very generous preview. Schools can request an evaluation copy by contacting the publisher at sales at bibleliteracy dot org. --Modern Blue Argonaut
This wonderful textbook, intended for use by high school students, contains much background information on the Bible. These details not only give the stories of the Bible context but show their relevance to today. I have been a student of the Bible all my life, yet I learned new things reading this book. The examples of biblical art and the sidebars on cultural connections are especially interesting. For those who teach teens in Sunday School, this book is a very helpful guide. --Joan K. Snipes
