In this book, Dr. Bill Creasy leads you on a great adventure book-by-book through the entire Bible, Genesis through Revelation. Stemming from his popular course at UCLA, the English Bible as Literature, this book delves deeply into the text of scripture, unveiling its rich literary origins. Recognized as among the top two percent of educators in the nation, Dr. Creasy challenges the idea that the Bible is simply an anthology, instead revealing it as a collection of “little books” that merit meticulous exploration.

In this book you will learn how to:

  • Read the Bible as a unified literary work

  • Engage each book of the Bible in its proper literary genre

  • Meet biblical characters as unique people

  • Discover the subtle techniques of scriptural storytelling

  • Understand the drama of redemption

With the aim of nurturing “educated readers of Scripture” who can both comprehend and apply its teachings within their own life, Reading the Bible serves as an indispensable guide for those seeking a profound understanding of the world’s most influential text.

“Dr. Bill Creasy has dedicated his life to sharing the poetic riches and truth of the Bible with people of all faith traditions — and no faith whatsoever. Through classroom teaching at UCLA, through podcasting, and through online courses, he has brought the ancient literary forms of Hebrew and Greek to life in English. This book is a distillation of the knowledge that has made him world-famous as a teacher.”
