HarperCollins Study Bible Notes

Product Description

The landmark HarperCollins Study Bible Notes are now available for your mobile device! Completely revised and updated by leading Biblical scholars, this classic reference work includes new introductions and notes, diagrams, charts and maps––25% revised or new material.

With the guidance of the Society of Biblical Literature, an organization of the best Biblical scholars world wide, and the Dean of Yale Divinity School, Harold Attridge, to oversee the Study Bible's updating and revision, the fundamental strengths of the first HCSB remain:

• up–to–date introductions to the Biblical books, based on the latest critical scholarship, by leading experts in the field
• concise notes, clearly explaining names, dates, places, obscure terms, and other difficulties in reading the Biblical text
• careful analysis of the structure of Biblical books
• abundant maps, tables, and charts to enable the reader to understand the context of the Bible, and to see the relationship among its parts

But, in this new revised edition, every introduction, essay, map, illustration and explanatory note has been reviewed and updated, and new material added. For instance, there are newly commissioned introductory essays on

• the archaeology of ancient Israel and the New Testament world
• the religion of ancient Israel
• the social and historical context of each book of the Bible
• Biblical interpretation

Of special interest are:

• the literary history of the Pentateuch
• more references to ancient non–Biblical sources which seem to parallel books in the Bible
  
• more comprehensive attention to the interrelationship of Old and New Testaments

Study notes are included for the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Apocryphal books.
