Introduction to Biblical Studies (Cassell Religious Studies)

Rating:
Summary: Short, Sharp, Easy to Read
Review: Moyise is described on the back cover of the book as being "Vice Principal of the St. Albans and Oxford Ministry Course." The book is one in the "Cassell Biblical Studies Series" which is intended as an ecumenical biblical studies series between Protestants and (Roman, I presume) Catholics.

The book covers all the ways of "doing" biblical criticism in a concise way whilst illustrating with interesting anecdotes where needed. Topics covered include: inspiration, historical criticism, form criticism, redaction criticism, social-scientific criticism, reader-response criticism, and post-modern criticism. This book will help new biblical studies students identify these types of biblical criticism. It does not cover any individual subject in depth.
