I got a bachelor's degree in religion, and the single most important class I took was one that basically taught me to read the Bible. The gist of the class was to figure out what a passage would've meant to its original readers before trying to apply it to our culture.
This book makes the same point from a different angle. It looks at the very great damage that's been done by treating ancient Middle Eastern documents like modern Western ones. It's a lesson we in the Church all need to learn, and I recommend this book.
