THEO 2110 Introduction to The Old Testament

Offers coverage of the lives and ideas of men and women who have made significant contributions to biblical interpretation, the history of interpretation of the various biblical writings, apocryphal and deuterocanonical works, the numerous methods and movements that have informed the reading of Scripture, from the first century to the present day.

This projected thirty-volume Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception (latest published is vol. 20--Mouse, Mice--Nefesh) documents the history of the Bible's interpretation and reception across the centuries, not only in Judaism and Christianity, but also in literature, visual art, music, film, and dance, as well as in Islam and other religious traditions and new religious movements.

The two-volume Oxford Encyclopedia of Biblical Interpretation provides comprehensive treatments of the latest approaches to and methods for interpretation of the Bible.
