Product Description
The Bible As A Community Book is a book written by Arthur Erastus Holt and published in 1920. The book explores the idea of the Bible as a book that is meant to be read and interpreted within a community. Holt argues that the Bible is not meant to be read in isolation, but rather in the context of a community of believers who can help to interpret its meaning and apply its teachings to their lives.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the Bible as a community book. Holt discusses the history of the Bible and its various translations, as well as the role of the church in interpreting and teaching the Bible. He also examines the ways in which different communities have interpreted the Bible throughout history, and how these interpretations have shaped religious beliefs and practices.Throughout the book, Holt emphasizes the importance of community in understanding and applying the teachings of the Bible. He argues that the Bible is not a static text, but rather a living document that is constantly being interpreted and reinterpreted by different communities of believers. By engaging with the Bible in a communal context, Holt suggests that we can gain a deeper understanding of its meaning and significance in our lives.Overall, The Bible As A Community Book is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of the Bible in religious communities. It offers a fresh perspective on the Bible as a text that is meant to be read and interpreted within a community, and provides insights into how different communities have engaged with the Bible throughout history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
