How to Read the Bible
Published

The Bible As Literature

Dr Sarah Golsby-Smith takes us on a journey to discover the riches of reading the Bible using the toolkits and methods of literary analysis. She argues that Christians tend to read the Bible as an instruction manual - not literature - and this narrows its richness and indeed our view of God. Instead she opens up the more living and vast world of reading the Bible literature.
