In How to Read the Bible, Harvard professor James Kugel leads the listener chapter by chapter through the “quiet revolution” of recent biblical scholarship, showing time and again how radically the interpretations of today’’s researchers differ from what people have always thought.
The story of Adam and Eve, it turns out, was not originally about the “Fall of Man”,l but about the move from a primitive, hunter-gatherer society to a settled, agricultural one.
As for the stories of Cain and Abel, Abraham and Sarah, and Jacob and Esau, these narratives were not, at their origin, about individual people at all but, rather, explanations of some feature of Israelite society as it existed centuries after these figures were said to have lived. And whatever the original Ten Commandments might have been, scholars are quite sure they were different from the ones we have today.
Such findings pose a serious problem for adherents of traditional, Bible-based faiths. Hiding from the discoveries of modern scholars seems dishonest, but accepting them means undermining much of the Bible’s reliability and authority as the word of God. What to do?
In his search for a solution, Kugel leads the listener back to a group of ancient biblical interpreters who flourished at the end of the biblical period. Far from naïve, these interpreters consciously set out to depart from the original meaning of the Bible’’s various stories, laws, and prophecies - and they, Kugel argues, hold the key to solving the dilemma of reading the Bible today.
How to Read the Bible is, quite simply, the best, most original book about the Bible in decades. Clear, often funny, but deeply serious in its purpose, this is a book for Christians and Jews, believers and secularists alike.

Why is this in the history section? It should be in children’s fiction.

Abandoning literalism isn’t a threat, as St. Augustine observed, it’s essential. He noted that the literal approach is the very worst of all. The allegorical dynamic is the life of the text. As to the Decalogue, a central articulation of Natural Law, with or without changes of emphases. Vital stuff again, Gooms.

I like the part where god tells them to kill everyone except the virgins. Apparently Genghis Khan used the bible to justify too.

Your flatulence is duly noted. As is your, uh, internet skulrshippe. Being a tireless Putin fan, you’ll of course be drawn to killing.

“caesar963 Being a tireless Putin fan, you’ll of course be drawn to killing.
(Americans & their gun-love…oy)”
Euromutt satraps whose every single thought is regurgitated from institutions based in America, down to parochial american asides about their gun industry, have no right to mock americans about anything.
I wish Putin luck in dealing with you dim and arrogant sods.

Yo, Ceez, betcha still regurgitating that thought!
