Teaching The Bible In The Liberal Arts Classroom, Volume 2 [Hardcover]

Eugene V. Gallagher, Rosemary Park Professor of Religious Studies at Connecti?cut College, writes: 'In a context where the general value of the Humani?ties has increasingly come under question by those who see a college educa?tion as necessarily being directly tied to the first job that students will have af?ter they graduate, an ability to make a vigorous case about the contribution of study?ing the Bible to any college student's education is crucial for any teacher'. This second collection of essays edited by Jane Webster and Glenn Hol?land seeks not only to promote the role of biblical studies in an un?dergraduate lib?eral arts education, but also to suggest strategies and approaches for teaching the Bible in a range of academic situa-tions. Combining the theoretical and the practi?cal, this volume will be another useful source of guidance and support for teachers of bibli?cal studies at any point in their professional careers.
