The Oxford
Study Bible opens up the history, literature,
and culture of the biblical communities in twenty-two clearly
presented articles written by some of today's foremost
biblical scholars. Readers will learn about the political
rivalries of the great ancient Near-Eastern empires, the rich
variety of literature from this period, the great diversity of
cultures and religious practices that existed during the
biblical era, and how all of these elements influenced the
Bible's content. And because The
Oxford Study Bible contributors come from a
wide variety of academic and religious backgrounds, including
Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant, readers profit from exposure
to a great range of perspectives.
The Revised
English Bible translation is equally
ecumenical, compiled by a committee representing all major
churches. This complete revision of
The New English Bible now includes fully
updated textual annotations.
The Oxford
Study Bible is the successor to the acclaimed
Oxford Study Edition
of The New English Bible.
The informative articles on the biblical world and the
Revised English Bible
translation offer a unique combination of basic information on
the Bible's cultural origins.
