Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do people know about the Bible, and how much do they know? The media often discusses the worrying 'decline' in biblical literacy, but what does this really mean, and how can we measure this assumed 'decline'? How can we go about teaching 'biblical literacy', and about teaching teachers how to teach it? Rethinking Biblical Literacy explores the question of biblical literacy, examining the Bible's use, influence and impact in advertising, street art, poetry, popular erotic literature, Irish and UK secondary education, stand-up comedy and The Simpsons TV series to display the different types of literacy and knowledge of the Bible. Katie B. Edwards brings together several specialists in the cultural use, impact and influence of the Bible to examine the contested nature of biblical literacy and to explore the variety of ways of 'knowing' about the Bible. The picture created is one of a broad range and at times surprising depth of knowledge about what remains arguably the most influential collection of texts ever to be published.

Book excerpt: How well do you know what's in the Bible? Why should you know? This book shows the importance of knowing scripture, why we need to understand it, how it has authority in our lives, and most important, how we can delight in God's Word. The Scripture is the inspired Word of God to us. As we can read it, God Himself speaks to us! It's not just about learning laws or rules for living-the Word gives us life. Jesus invites us to know about him. He invites us to experience and live in relationship with him. And this is what it's like when we read the word. We're actually invited to know and experience and delight and enjoy Jesus through his Word to us.
