Synopsis

The English Bible guides readers through Bible study as literature, blending direct narrative study with its use by great writers. This edition frames a two-part course that helps students understand the Bible itself and its influence on literature, making biblical texts meaningful beyond religious settings. It’s designed for college and Sunday school use, and for divinity students who want a broader view of the Bible’s literary power.

The book begins by recognizing that many readers come to the Bible with hesitation, then shows how a careful literary approach can illuminate its narrative art. The first half focuses on Bible narratives and key books as literary masterpieces, while the second half analyzes how poets, orators, and essayists have used biblical passages in their work. A strong emphasis on practical study—notes, quotations, and classroom-ready selections—brings the material to life for study and discussion.




  • Learn to read biblical narratives as literature and culture, not just as sacred text.

  • Explore how major writers have drawn on biblical themes and passages.

  • Develop a systematic notebook to build a lasting, life-long study of the Bible.

  • Draw connections between biblical allusions and their use in poetry, prose, and speech.



Ideal for readers of literature and students of biblical texts who want a structured, informed approach to the Bible’s literary value.
