The Bible: A Literary Study (Twayne's Masterwork Studies) [Hardcover]

John H. Gottcent (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

YA This is an excellent literary analysis of the Bible. Gottcent proposes the importance of the study of the Bible for these reasons: it is the foundation of Western culture and is a source of insight into human experience. He emphasizes literary importance rather than the spiritual and historical aspects. This nonsectarian approach to the Old and New Testaments will serve as an excellent study guide for use individually or in Bible classes, either secular or church-related . Sue W.

This review is from: The Bible: A Literary Study (Twayne's Masterwork Studies Series) (Paperback)

I found this book to be very enjoyable and satisfying spiritually
at a crucial time. The Bible; a Literary Study is appropriate
for use as a textbook, for personal study, and as a source of lessons or sermons. Believers and academics of every level will
appreciate this book. I found the section on Job to be among the
best in the book.
