Discovering Biblical Texts

The volumes in the Discovering Biblical Texts (DBT) series offer readers compact, up-to-date, and student-friendly introductions to the books of the Bible and their structure, content, theological concerns, key interpretative debates, and historical reception.

Encouraging students to engage with the biblical writings for themselves by alerting them to key issues and questions raised by the text, these books also explore and explain the approaches and conclusions of a wide range of ancient and modern interpreters. Each volume includes special sections on the biblical text’s reception and its influence on Christian history and culture.
