Genre in the Bible: Introduction
Genre in the Bible: History to Apocalypse
Genre in the Bible: Gospels and Letters

Violence in the Old Testament (and in the New)
Dissonant voices in the Old Testament
Good news in the Old Testament
And for those of you wanting to explore the terrain further, here are some of the books that we have used as guides so far…
The Bible Makes Sense by Walter Brugemann
The Old Testament is Dying by Brent A Strawn
The Bible Tells Me So by Pete Enns
Disarming Scripture by Derek Flood
Texts of Terror by Phylis Tribble
Not In God’s Name by Rabbi Jonathan Sacks
The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs
And for other further reading on violence in the Old Testament, I highly recommend this series of blogs from Helen Paynter, who will be lecturing on this topic next year.
