- Summary:
- For a long time, scholars felt required to read the Bible as transparent on history, and it was only with an increased willingness to consider the human texture of revelation that scholars began to consider the Bible's richness as literary influence. The essays presented in this volume examine that human texture in both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament.
