Description



About the Book



Don't just read the Bible literally--read it Literarily.

A lot of times, we treat Scripture like it's all the same from Genesis to Revelation. After all, it only has one Author. Isn't it just one big book, identical from beginning to end?

While it's true the Bible is unified, it's also diverse. That's why a single approach doesn't do justice to the variety of genres that make up the Word of God. In Literarily, Kristie Anyabwile reveals the value of studying the Bible literarily--that is, according to the literary style presented in a particular book, chapter, or passage.

The Bible is an epic story that God has revealed through diverse genres and literary features. When we recognize the multiple forms in which Scripture comes to us, we'll encounter the ongoing story of Jesus's redemption and learn how He calls His people to live in our complex world today.



Book Synopsis



Don't just read the Bible literally--read it Literarily.

A lot of times, we treat Scripture like it's all the same from Genesis to Revelation. After all, it only has one Author. Isn't it just one big book, identical from beginning to end?

While it's true that the Bible is unified, it is also diverse. The Bible can be grouped according to key categories, called genres, that help us to read and properly interpret the Scriptures. An understanding of these genres, and the literary themes and devices used within them, makes all the difference when encountering God's Word.

Long-time Bible teacher Kristie Anyabwile discovered as she prepared her lessons that a single inductive approach doesn't do justice to the variety of genres that make up the Word of God. Because Scripture is a collection of writings that spans 1,500 years, many literary styles are represented and each must be taken into account for the fullest understanding of God's Word. Kristie shows you the immense value of studying the Bible literarily--that is, according to the literary style presented in a particular book, chapter, or passage. In Literarily, Kristie will take you through these eight distinct genres:

  • Law
  • History
  • Prophecy
  • Poetry
  • Gospels
  • Epistles
  • Wisdom
  • Apocalyptic


The Bible is an epic story that God has revealed to us through diverse genres and literary features. Its message and method are both meant to transform our hearts. Our goal as interpreters isn't to meld the Scriptures into a bland conglomerate, but to recognize the multiple forms in which God's Word comes to us. In so doing, we'll encounter the ongoing story of Jesus's redemption and learn how He calls His people to live in our complex world today.
