Select Works of Richard A. Horsley (2 vols.)

How important is word study when evaluating the meaning of a passage or genre in the Bible? Through a collection of interrelated essays in two selected volumes, world-renowned researcher Richard A. Horsley explores the major sections of 1 Corinthians and the genre definition of apocalyptic and wisdom literatures. He seeks to correct commonly held views and believes that the study of words and symbols should not stand alone in a selected passage but that they are integral to the often overlooked broader picture of the sociological settings. Study with Horsley as he challenges you to see the panoramic view when evaluating the Bible and theological terminologies in its sociological contexts.
