Críticas:
"If "How to Read the Bible" is read by the average American, our arguments about the Bible will be much more informed--and much less contentious. ... A splendid work by a renowned scholar."--The Association of Mormon Letters

An absolutely masterful book by one of the great theologians of our age, and of inestimable value to both scholars and beginners. --James Martin, SJ, author of "Jesus: A Pilgrimage""

In this important book, Cox takes readers of all ages and all spiritual traditions on an excursion through some of the most confounding and deeply difficult questions bible reading has to offer. Best of all, he shows us how to go beyond the words and so become more spiritual. --Joan Chittister, OSB, author of "Between the Dark and the Daylight: Embracing the Contradictions of Life""

Cox reads the Bible as an engaging storyteller who portrays the real life drama embodied in the narratives. He also reads as a scholarly interpreter of texts, and a source of experiencing the spiritual life. Read and you will discover an integrated and intriguing way to read the Bible. --Murray W. Dempster, Director of the Center for the Study of Global Pentecostalism at Southeastern University"

No one who reads this will ever again approach the Jewish or Christian scriptures in the same way. This is a must read for the religious, the secular, and everyone in between. A monumental work, and fun to read. --Alan Dershowitz, Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law emeritus at Harvard and author of "Abraham: The World's First (But Certainly Not Last) Jewish Lawyer""

Fifty years later Cox is still provocative. "How to Read the Bible" is a tour through both the Bible and the history of biblical criticism. Cox shows he has lost none of his talent for expressing complex ideas in accessible ways. --"U.S. Catholic""

Weaving individual stories with contemporary biblical criticism, Cox presents a case for reading the Bible both as an intellectual discipline and a spiritual journey . A handy introduction for those who are interested in a constructive analysis of the Bible. --"Library Journal""

Whether he is following in the footsteps of Moses [or] looking over the shoulders of Gospel writers Cox proves to be a skillful interpreter of the Bible. "How to Read the Bible" shines and shimmers with all the wisdom Cox has accrued from many years of teaching. --"Spirituality & Practice""

Harvard s famous, forward-looking professor of divinity Harvey Cox demonstrates how various critical methods clarify [the Bible s] meanings at the time it was written and in ages thereafter, thereby helping readers answer questions about its meaning now. For thoroughgoing amateur Bible students, a godsend. --"Booklist""

Harvey Cox does a service to anyone seeking to look at the Bible through 21st century lenses What Cox manages with bringing the text into a new generation is a breath of fresh air [and] a renewed heart for the scriptures... Cox brings a conversation back to the Bible. --"Clarion: Journal of Spirituality and Justice""
Reseña del editor:

Renowned religion expert and Harvard Divinity School professor Harvey Cox deepens our experience of the Bible, revealing the three primary ways we read it, why each is important, and how we can integrate these approaches for a richer understanding and appreciation of key texts throughout the Old and New Testaments.

The Bible is the heart of devotional practice, a source of guidance and inspiration rich with insightful life lessons. On the other side of the spectrum, academics have studied the Bible using scientific analysis to examine its historical significance and meaning. The gap between these readings has resulted in a schism with far-reaching implications: Without historical context, ordinary people are left to interpret the Bible literally, while academic readings overlook the deeply personal connections established in church pews, choir benches, and backyard study groups.

In How To Read the Bible, Cox explores three different lenses commonly used to bring the Bible into focus:

  • Literary—as narrative stories of family conflict, stirring heroism, and moral dilemmas;
  • History—as classic texts with academic and theological applications;
  • Activism—as a source of dialogue and engagement to be shared and applied to our lives.

By bringing these together, Cox shows the Bible in all its rich diversity and meaning and offers us a contemporary activist version that wrestles with issues of feminism, war, homosexuality, and race. The result is a living resource that is perpetually evolving as our understanding changes and deepens from generation to generation.
