Literarily

How Understanding Bible Genres Transforms Bible Study

Don't just read the Bible literally--read it Literarily. A lot of times, we treat Scripture like it's all the same from Genesis to Revelation. After all, it only has one Author. Isn't it just one big book, identical from beginning to end? While it's true the Bible is unified, it's also diverse. That's why a single approach doesn't do justice to the variety of genres that make up the Word of God. In Literarily, Kristie Anyabwile reveals the value of studying the Bible literarily--that is, according to the literary style presented in a particular book, chapter, or passage. The Bible is an epic story that God has revealed through diverse genres and literary features. When we recognize the multiple forms in which Scripture comes to us, we'll encounter the ongoing story of Jesus's redemption and learn how He calls His people to live in our complex world today.
