The Bible is one of the most influential and profound texts in human history - it is disturbing, unconventional, and never content with the world as it is. This classic introduction presents a concise and accessible guide to all aspects of biblical study: the nature and purpose of the Bible; how biblical writers wrote; the making of both Old and New Testaments; the making of the Apocrypha; what was left out and what kept in the Bible and why; and how the Bible has been shaped by and continues to shape religion, culture and politics. Completely revised and updated - and considerably extended with much more material on the making of the Old and New Testaments - this third edition takes full account of recent developments in scholarship. It includes maps and a glossary of key terms.

This book traces the theme of justice throughout the narrative of Exodus in order to explicate how yhwh’s reclamation of Israel for service-worship reveals a distinct theological ethic of justice grounded in yhwh’s character and Israel’s calling within yhwh’s creational agenda.Adopting a synchronic, text-immanent interpretive strategy that focuses on canonical and inner-biblical connections, Nathan Bills identifies two overlapping motifs that illuminate the theme of justice in Exodus. First, Bills considers the importance of Israel’s creation traditions for grounding Exodus’s theology of justice. Reading Exodus against the backdrop of creation theology and as a continuation of the plot of Genesis, Bills shows that the ethical disposition of justice imprinted on Israel in Exodus is an application of yhwh’s creational agenda of justice. Second, Bills identifies an educational agenda woven throughout the text. The narrative gives heightened attention to the way yhwh catechizes Israel in what it means to be the particular beneficiary and creational emissary of yhwh’s justice. These interpretative lenses of creation theology and pedagogy help to explain why Israel’s salvation and shaping embody a programmatic applicability of yhwh’s justice for the wider world.This volume will be of substantial interest to divinity students and religious professionals interested in the themes of exodus, exile, and return.

Nacido en Talavera la Real en los últimos años del siglo xv, Diego Sánchez de Badajoz fue cura de su pueblo nativo hasta su muerte hacia la mitad de la centuria siguiente. Un cura tan preocupado por la catequización de sus feligreses, que no vaciló en hacerse cura-dramaturgo y componer, para convertirlos mejor, las veintisiete farsas recogidas, en 1554, en la Recopilación en metro. No por tener, sin embargo, tan declarada finalidad catequística es este teatro religioso aburrido o inhábil. Muy al contrario. Lo que nos descubren los análisis sistemáticos de Françoise Cazal son, hasta ahora muy escasamente captados por la crítica, todo el talento literario y el espíritu festivo del autor de una producción dramática en que se mezclan la variopinta jocosidad de la Edad Media y las interrogaciones doctrinales que iban a ser las del Concilio de Trento. Más aún, los principios metodológicos aplicados à la lectura de las farsas de Diego Sánchez - los procesos de la interlocución examinados a la luz de las teorías de Michel Vinaver, o los de la reescritura de la materia bíblica - ofrecen modelos para el estudio de cualquier otra obra del teatro aún insuficientemente explorado del XVI.
