Holy People, Holy Land A Theological Introduction to the Bible, 2nd ed. Michael Dauphinais and Matthew Levering Foreword by Brant Pitre This updated edition of a successful textbook offers an integrated theological vision of the Old and New Testaments. It highlights the pattern of God’s plan to dwell with his people in holiness and love. “A compelling, theologically integrated reading of Scripture that is faithful to the hermeneutical vision of the Second Vatican Council and attentive to contemporary biblical scholarship. By presenting the Bible as a coherent witness to God’s covenantal love, Dauphinais and Levering introduce Scripture as God’s Word in human words. In the footsteps of the church fathers, they offer an accessible yet profound entry into theological exegesis and the coherence of the biblical canon.” —Katja Hess, Catholic University of America “In 1988 Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger famously argued that it would take at least the work of an entire generation to overcome the split between ecclesial-theological and historical exegeses of the Bible. A generation later, we must admit that it will take longer than that! This new edition of Dauphinais and Levering’s theological intro- duction to the Bible is an important contribution to this task. While attending to the work of historical scholars, it invites readers to explore the message of all the Scriptures.” —Nathan Eubank, University of Notre Dame “This book provides a much-needed focus on Scripture’s theolog- ical meaning as a basis for instruction in Christian doctrine. It will nourish one’s Christian faith in the biblical story and perspective on reality in response to today’s dominant secularistic, ideological, and relativistic worldviews. It will also whet readers’ appetites to go to the Bible for further nourishment.” —William Kurz, SJ†, Marquette University “An exegetically informative and theologically illuminating in- troduction to the Bible—one that will give a new generation of students ‘access’ to Scripture by teaching them to read it in light of both reason and faith, exegesis and theology, and human and divine dimensions of the written Word of God.” —Brant Pitre, Augustine Institute Graduate School (from the foreword)
