SynopsisCompleted almost two thousand years ago and shaped by different languages and cultures, the Bible might seem distant from us today. Yet it is still the most widely read book in the world, and it continues to guide our understanding of who God is and who we are. This volume, which features essays by scholars from both English- and French-speaking backgrounds, considers several issues related to the Bible: its particular status as God's revelation, how we employ different methods to the task of rereading the Bible, and how it continues to shape contemporary culture. While diverse in their backgrounds, disciplines, and religious traditions, the scholars in this volume are united by their passion for the Scriptures and their collective desire to see God's Word read today., The Bible throughout the Ages examines several crucial issues related to the Bible: its status as God's truth and revelation, the history of reading and interpreting Scripture, and its ongoing relevance in the world today. This edited volume is the result of collaboration between English- and French-speaking scholars, who collectively address a range of issues regarding Scripture, including literal vs. metaphorical interpretations, how theologians like Augustine, Aquinas, and Calvin read the Bible, and how Scripture continues to shape the Christian faith today., This book offers a scholarly exploration of the Bible as God's revelation, the history of its interpretation, and its enduring influence in the contemporary world. With an epistemological emphasis, topics range from hermeneutic principles according to different traditions to the influence of new media on our grasp of the meaning of the Bible.
