Unique among books that examine the bible as literature, this brilliantly compact introduction offers an intriguing double-edged look at this universal text - a religiously informed literary analysis. The book first explores the major sections of the New Testament - the gospels, Paul's letters, and Revelation - as individual literary documents. Keefer shows how, in such familiar stories as the parable of the Good Samaritan, a literary analysis can uncover an unexpected complexity to what seems a simple, straightforward tale.

As the work at the heart of Christianity, the Bible is the spiritual guide for one out of every three people in the world. It is also the world's most widely distributed book, having been translated into over 2,000 languages, as well as the world's best-selling book, year after year.

The story of Sarah is often relegated to the background of her husband’s epic journey, yet she stands as the indispensable co-architect of a movement that redefined the relationship between humanity and the divine. To encounter Sarah is to step into a world of startling contrasts, where the refined luxury of the Mesopotamian elite meets the grit and dust of a nomadic existence. She was a woman who lived at the intersection of ancient history and eternal promise, navigating a century of life that was as much a political drama as it was a spiritual pilgrimage.

The New English Standard Version translation is founded on the belief that the words of the Bible are the very words of God. Setting itself apart from other translations by sacrificing neither accuracy nor readability, the ESV is an "essentially literal" translation that seeks to duplicate the original texts while taking into account the differences between modern English and the original languages.

Biblical scholars Brandon O'Brien and Randy Richards shed light on the ways that Western readers often misunderstand the cultural dynamics of the Bible. They identify nine key areas where modern Westerners have significantly different assumptions about what might be going on in a text.

The story of Jezebel is not merely a tale of a wicked queen, but a window into a titanic struggle between two irreconcilable worldviews that shaped the ancient Near East. To approach her history is to step into a volatile landscape of ninth century BCE politics, where the borders of faith and state were blurred by incense and blood. She was a woman born of the sea, a Phoenician princess of Tyre and Sidon, who was thrust into the rugged, mountainous heart of Israel to cement a military alliance. Yet, she was never content to be a silent partner in the Omride dynasty.

For the past two thousand years, Christian tradition, scholarship, and pop culture has credited the authorship of the New Testament to a select group of men: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul. But the truth is that these individuals, who have been rewarded with sainthood for their work, did not write alone. In some meaningful ways they did not write at all. Hidden behind these named and sainted individuals are a cluster of enslaved coauthors and collaborators, almost all of whom go unnamed and uncredited. They were responsible for producing the earliest manuscripts of the New Testament.
