    In his book How to Read the Jewish Bible, Marc Brettler (2005) introduces the reader to the Bible employing the methods modern biblical scholars use to understand the Hebrew scriptures. How successfully he does this depends not only on the content of his book, but also on the intended audience.

    Synopsis: Nehemiah Shannon Fouts BIBL 5023 Graduate Survey of the Bible Dr. Grant Testut July 18, 2015 Introduction On a mission to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, Nehemiah returned to the city in 445 B.C. commissioned by the Persian king, Artaxerxes. Among the relatively few people returning from exile and the surviving Jewish remnant, Nehemiah travailed to reestablish a sense of community and to give the people recognized political status and protection from the surrounding opposition. The city walls aptly represented the Jews’ social and spiritual state of that period, broken down and in great need of repair. Nehemiah endeavored to rebuild the walls, thus rebuilding a people distinct from those around them who obeyed the Book of the Law worshipping the one true God.…

    This book starts off by discussing captivity, Ishmaels captivity, the takers captivity in their own culture, and way of thinking. Ishmael teaches the author about captivity through his own experience in the zoo and circus. Ishmael never says that he feels resentful about his captors, and he furthers the discussion about captivity by discussing mother culture, and how this culture holds people captive (36). Ishmael teaches the narrator that taker culture holds everyone captive, and the only way to break through this captivity is to form another different culture, that does not have the same “teachings” as the taker culture (44). Identity is another idea that is discussed throughout the book, Ishmael tells the narrator how he found his identity, and then tells the narrator that no one has to just accept the identity that is given to them.…

Though they can vary from tales of a great flood to how the world came to be, the most common and easily-identifiable is the Hero’s Journey. Outlined by Joseph Campbell, the Hero’s Journey is the story of a great person travelling to a strange, otherworldly place (literal or metaphorical,) facing a fearsome enemy, and returning to the “normal” world having gained wisdom and experience. The most famous of these tales, like The Odyssey or the Epic of Gilgamesh, have masculine heroes, defined by traits like bravery, strength, or fearlessness.
