Reseņa del editor

Do you sometimes hear people quote passages from the Bible to support their point of view or to justify a particular value or action? Often, passages are taken out of context, infused with meaning that reflects todayOCOs world, and interpreted to fit our present frame of reference. However, this does injustice to the Bible and to the messages that its writers were trying to convey. Only when we OC read between the lines, OCO using the techniques of biblical scholars, can we insightfully grasp what OC the Bible says.OCO How ironic that we often refer to this OC holyOCO book as if its words were written for us in our times when, indeed, biblical writings were not even considered holy when they were first recorded, nor did biblical authors ever imagine how lasting their words would be.In this book, you will gain valuable insights about the origins of well-known biblical stories, and you will discover what meanings their authors most likely intended, given the circumstances behind their words. Is it possible to apply teachings from the Bible to our world today, given the vast differences between biblical times and ours? Absolutely! Does the Bible remain relevant? Absolutely! Readers will come to appreciate the Bible and its diverse writings with a whole new level of understanding and insight."
