This anthology brings together scholarly research and discussions of the meaning of the Bible today. It breaks with the conventional historical approach to the Bible and teaches students to read biblical texts in light of their multiple, indeterminate, and infinite meanings; illuminating the dynamics between the Bible, readers, and the world. This text invites students to view the study of the Bible as an important contribution to our understanding of past and present culture, politics and religion. The socio-political categories of gender, race/ethnicity, and class serve as organizing principles for the material presented.

This anthology brings together modern research and discussions on the meaning of the Bible in our world. It invites readers to appreciate the continuing cultural, political, and religious relevance of the Bible by presenting a wide range of articles that introduce the Bible as a powerful document of past and present culture. This reader is divided into four sections: Introductory Matters, The Rhetoric of Gender, The Rhetoric of Race/Ethnicity, and The Rhetoric of Class; allowing the reader to see the Bible as an influential document of past and present culture, politics, and religion. For readers interested in modern biblical interpretations in the context of gender, race/ethnicity, and class.
