Features: The five small volumes of the Hebrew Bible hold special significance for analyzing the life experiences expressed in the Bible and the communal identity within it. The two main themes of the book are how the Hebrew Bible speaks of life and how it influences the formation of communal identity awareness. Around these two themes, various major methods in biblical studies are addressed. Additionally, considering the nascent stage of biblical studies in Chinese academia, representative works on Hebrew Bible studies are introduced in the footnotes, hoping that readers can gain both specific knowledge for specialized discussions and general insights into biblical studies.
