The Genres of the Hebrew Bible | Searching the Scriptures EIV

The Biblonian

This episode is the second of many on the new series: Searching the Scriptures. Searching the Scriptures is a series where I will be going through content that I taught to some students at my church on the development of the Bible and hermeneutics (how we read the Bible). While the class is about the Bible as a whole, it is more focused on the Hebrew Bible (/Old Testament/TaNaKh); in this series, we will go through the following: Harmful Hermeneutics The Composition of the Bible The History of the Bible The Literature of the Bible The Cosmos of the Bible Searching the Scriptures Today The Hebrew Bible is full of all different types of genres - With each genre comes a different technique for reading the text. The authors of the Hebrew Bible used different literary genres to be able to express different angles to the over-arching biblical narrative. Instead of just giving us rules to follow, God has given us words of beauty and sophistication through His prophets and we can better understand what they have to say when know how they speak.
