While there are plenty of biblical scholars today, few authors are able to introduce Scripture to students the way Dianne Bergant does. Bergant invites readers to genuinely engage Scripture, to enter the world of the text and explore some of the age-old questions that arise in every generation: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e' What does it mean to say that the Word of God is both divine and human? \u003cbr\u003e ' Why is biblical history so important to the study of Scripture and theology? \u003cbr\u003e ' Why are there different literary forms in the Bible? \u003cbr\u003e ' Why the competing voices and apparent contradictions?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn language that is clear and compelling, Bergant explores the answers to these and other questions. She surveys the world of the Bible and biblical scholarship in an introduction that is sure to spark enthusiasm and further interest. This volume in the \u003ci\u003eEngaging Theology\u003c\/i\u003e series instills solid knowledge of Scripture and, thereby, knowledge of Christ, demonstrating that \"the Bible is an inexhaustible source of challenge and delight, of inspiration and guidance, and a testimony to ultimate meaning and value.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dianne Bergant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814659950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814659953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liturgical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.05w x 0.39d","brand":"Dianne Bergant","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076810109183,"sku":"9780814659953","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19eb2221-944d-45b9-aa19-11c99a1e9e03.jpg?v=1685466919","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scripture-dianne-bergant-9780814659953","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
