Title: The New Testament as Literature

Subtitle: A Very Short Introduction

Author: Kyle Keefer

Narrator: Jonathan Walker

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-24-11

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Bibles

Publisher's Summary:

The words, phrases, and stories of the New Testament permeate the English language. Indeed, this relatively small group of 27 works, written during the height of the Roman Empire, not only helped create and sustain a vast world religion, but also have been integral to the larger cultural dynamics of the West, above and beyond particular religious expressions.

Looking at the New Testament through the lens of literary study, Kyle Keefer offers an engrossing exploration of this revered religious text as a work of literature, but also keeps in focus its theological ramifications.

Unique among books that examine the Bible as literature, this brilliantly compact introduction offers an intriguing double-edged look at this universal text - a religiously informed literary analysis. The book first explores the major sections of the New Testament - the gospels, Paul's letters, and Revelation - as individual literary documents. Keefer shows how, in such familiar stories as the parable of the Good Samaritan, a literary analysis can uncover an unexpected complexity to what seems a simple, straightforward tale.

At the conclusion of the book, Keefer steps back and asks questions about the New Testament as a whole. He reveals that whether read as a single document or as a collection of works, the New Testament presents readers and listeners with a wide variety of forms and viewpoints, and a literary exploration helps bring this richness to light.

A fascinating investigation of the New Testament as a classic literary work, this Very Short Introduction uses a literary framework - plot, character, narrative arc, genre - to illuminate the language, structure, and the crafting of this venerable text.

Members Reviews:

good

A good little analysis of the new testament. To the point and brief. Very informative.

Good academic approach

This was a very concise scholarly approach to the Bible as literature. I am a professor at a Bible college and I will consider using this as one of my resources for a class. Though I personally believe the Bible to be God's Word to mankind, it is also useful to see how others approach it.

Publisher's Summary:

Transform your quiet time. Today's world is all about now - a fast-moving, high-speed, on-demand lifestyle, but has this pace changed the way we study the Bible? Our relationship with God is a journey, a walk where we grow closer to him each day. So it makes sense that reading and understanding Scripture is a continual experience, not just a moment. This innovative devotional is designed to change how you interact with Gods Word.

The Message//REMIX: Solo revolves around lectio divina, or divine reading, an ancient approach to exploring Scripture updated for todays students. Each devotion delivers a unique, contemplative study that will encourage you to read, think, pray, and live. Uncover biblical wisdom and revelations as you learn to read without the typical limitations that often cut Bible reading short. Immerse yourself in the passage as you place yourself in the story or meditate on words and phrases. Connect with him through listening prayer and praise as you encounter new ways to communicate with God. Rest, reflect, or act as you discover how to take the Word with you throughout the day. Features include an introduction to the lectio divina style of study, numbered devotions so you can start on any day of the year, and a time of rest every seventh day.

Not a study bible, but a great "reading" bible!

I bought this looking for more contemporary language to read in the bible seminars I lead. As a member of the clergy I can use about any version with equal ease, but sometimes the language in other versions is tougher on lay members of the group, This version certainly fits what I needed.

I now frequently use this in my sermons just because it truly is easy to understand. It's certainly not just a hip remix of the KJV, it really is a translation. I have both the hard copy and Kindle version, both get a lot of use.

Navigation is fine but....

Some reviewers said that you cannot navigate by chapter numbers. You can actually go to the chapters but not by the usual route you might expect. In the table of contents at the start, you can only click the book name. When you do, it will take you straight to the introduction of that book. Turn the page down (arrow right, or swipe depending on your Kindle model) as if you're reading this intro and the next set of text will be the chapter numbers. So yeah, you can navigate by chapters but in a rather roundabout manner. This is fine with me, no big deal.

I did have to ask for a refund though because of one thing. Typos. For instance, in deuteronomy, a killer who has unintentionally slain a person is given sanctuary, right? He's not a murderer. A slayer or killer, but not murderer. But in this translation, he is at first called a killer then later on a murderer- and this on the part refering to the same unintentional killing. After several of these inconsistencies, I got the awful feeling the text was haphazardly written.

I like the idea of a paraphrase. I love the modern day idioms used in this translation. I'm with the author when he wrote that the purpose of the book is to get people to begin reading the bible. Just begin reading it. Study will come later. So perhaps a thorough review and revision of the text will make this better.

Title: Introduction to the Gospel According to Mark

Author: Nick Cave

Narrator: Nick Cave, Richard Holloway

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-30-10

Publisher: Canongate Books Ltd

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Bibles

Publisher's Summary:

Nick Cave reads from his introduction to the earliest of the four Gospels, which portrays Jesus as an enigmatic figure, struggling with enemies, his inner and external demons, and with his devoted but disconnected disciples. Unlike other gospels, his parables are obscure, to be explained secretly to his followers. Cave's reading is preceded by Richard Holloway, former Bishop of Edinburgh, reading an extract from the gospel.

Members Reviews:

This is only an excerpt!

What would have made Introduction to the Gospel According to Mark better?

I knew this was an introduction only and expected it to be short. However it ends in the middle of a paragraph. It doesn't even include all of the already short introduction.

What could Nick Cave have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Nick's reading and thoughts are why I bought the intro. The only thing missing is the rest of it.

Any additional comments?

Please note that the amazon reviews currently showing under these reviews are for an entirely different book.

Language: English

Release date: 11-30-10

Publisher: Canongate Books Ltd

Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Bibles

Publisher's Summary:

Will Self reads from his introduction to Revelation, the final book of the Bible, which prophesises the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images, and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the 'Beast' will be destroyed, and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. The introduction is preceded by a reading from the book by Richard Holloway, former Bishop of Edinburgh.

Members Reviews:

Will Self Writes and Narrates this Intro.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Great to hear what my favorite author sounds like reading his work. The other reviews on here are F*n hilarious. Love the fact that they were expecting some pious dribble and instead they got some Will Self -the best English language writer working today. Wish it was longer essay/intro on "Revelation"

Any additional comments?

Audible needs to add more Will Self books.

DO NOT BUY

I could not understand a word of what he was trying to say on the 2 minutes of audio. Only 2 minutes for a Dollar!! That's $0.50 cents per minute. Don't waste you hard earn Money. DO NOT BUY

paid way too much for this

This was the biggest waste of money I ever spent at Audible. This guy is a worthless whiner. No preaching, no faith building. Its like going to a rotten church. I am studying Revelation right now so that is why I tried it. This is a total waste of money!!! Don't buy it!

Well worth it, short as it is.

The apocalyptic voice in my head urged me to buy. I bought.

And I was indeed satisfied.

So I say unto you to do the same. You will not be found wanting.

Excellent to listen to but have someone iron out the technical issues at the beginning... have already purchased Exodus and look forward to the other 64 books ... Great job George W Sarris !!!

chose wrong books

I really want to. delete this book. chose wrong one.. wanted something else thank you.

great book, smart-aleck, irritating reader

Rather than glorifying the King James language, this reader charges up your spiritual batteries with the enthusiasms of a Campus Crusade for Christ rally. He reads with amazing clarity but, gee-whiz, much too fast and with much too much emotional manipulation. Every time he says "God" he splices in an attitude of rapt amazement, pitched a whole tone higher. Miraculous! It's very didactic. I couldn't swallow it, but I'm sure many listeners will gulp it down. They certainly won't have time to chew on it.

Excellent reading, no individual chapters

Would you try another book from Desmond Tutu and/or Desmond Tutu?

I love this book by Desmond Tutu, and I love hearing Desmond Tutu reading it. I am SO disappointed that there are not individual chapters. I wish I could skip from story to story.

Beautifully concise and charming

We bought it for our son but found ourselves listen to it more than just with him. Delightful little devotional for anyone.

BEAUTIFUL in every way

My children truly enjoy this audiobook and I think I may enjoy it even more than they do!!

Desmond Tutu is one of the best readers of almost any audiobook that I own. Love it!
