A few weeks ago someone posted a book that seemed very interesting, but I can't seem to find the thread or the book online.
It was a book about reading the Bible, but keeping the context of the Bible writers views in mind... Does anyone know which book I am talking about?
Thanks,
I don't know which title was mentioned on here - there are quite a number that you could profitably read. One which I would recomment highly is "How to read the Bible," by James Krugel. You can find it on Amazon. Rivington
Yes I saw that on Amazon, and I may get it, but there was a diferent book that was posted, about the setting of the Bible and how that affects our understanding of it today. Anyone else?
Cheers,
The Control of Biblical Meaning: Canon As Semiotic Mechanism (Paperback) by George Aichele (Author) - was it this one? Really, there's a ton of them out there. If I remember others, I will post... Another good one is From Jesus to Christianity: How Four Generations of Visionaries & Storytellers Created the New Testament and Christian Faith by L. Michael White ( Paperback - Oct 25, 2005) Them's just for starters!
Yes there a a ton out there... Just that the book that I saw on a thread intrigued me, so I was hoping someone would remeber the thread. Something like looking at the Bible from the writer's standpoint and historical context.....
Thanks...
Just in case anyone tries to look for the title I mentioned above, the author is James L Kugel (Not Krugel) Rivington
is it "Who wrote the bible?" by Richard E. Friedman ?
some one on this board suggested it a couple of weeks ago, and I went to my local library and took out a copy, read it in a week.
Moses did not write the first 5 books of the bible so who did, when, where and why? Friedman answers those questions.
Hope that helps. Lily
Maybe this is the thread:
