The Jewish Bible and the Christian Bible - Julio C. Trebolle Barrera

an introduction to the history of the Bible

KORTE INHOUD

This wide-ranging handbook presents a superb overview of our current knowledge on the history of the Bible. Julio Trebolle Barrera shows how the collections of canonical and apocryphal books were formed, explains the transmission and translation of the biblical texts, and describes biblical interpretation in Judaism and Christianity. Incorporating the immense amount of information that has become available since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Trebolle Barrera bridges the gaps between widely different areas and trends in the field of biblical studies: canonical and apocryphal literature, written and oral traditions, rabbinic and Christian exegesis and modern critical exegesis, and literal and allegorical interpretation, among others. Scholars, students, and interested laypeople alike will benefit from the wealth of general information found here as well as the detailed discussion of many topics currently under debate.
