GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE BIBLIOGRAPHY

The DLSC bibliography is designed for book length studies that are largely introductory in the information they provide, or supplement that information in broadly helpful ways, or otherwise serve as useful points of entry for study of the Bible and its major parts. In most sections, it distributes its entries into four principal categories: General Introductions, Background Studies, Criticism & Interpretation, and (Biblical) Theology. This arrangement, of course, does not exclude significant overlap.

To a great extent, the bibliography is presently limited to works that introduce major clusters of biblical writings as opposed to works that introduce individual books of the bible. Exceptions include a few introductions that form parts of a series or commentary. The word "cluster," as here used, refers to traditionally recognized groupings or sets of books, e.g. Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and New Testament, and subsets of books in both testaments, e.g. Torah/Pentateuch, Early Prophets/Historical Books, Latter Prophets, Wisdom Literature, New Testament, Synoptic Gospels, Johannine Literature, Pauline Literature, Letters to All Christians, etc.)

Prospects for further expansion of the bibliography include the addition of stand-alone introductions to individual books of the bible as well as appropriate entries from the periodical literature.

Development of the bibliography is an ongoing project in which on-line viewers are invited to participate by suggesting additions, subtractions, corrections, reclassification of entries, and other changes as appropriate. Viewers who wish to make those suggestions are asked to send them to <[email protected]>.

Viewers will notice that some categories presently have few, and, in some cases, even no entries. The categories are provided nonetheless to absorb relevant entries if and when they are identified and to indicate gaps in the introductory literature that scholars may wish to fill.

This bibliography is a product of the Dominican Lay Scholars Community (DLSC). Special thanks are due to student friars at St. Albert's Priory for identifying a substantial number of entries for the bibliography, to Tony Amodeo for superb guidance in accessing the appropriate data bases, and to Terry Halloran and Gavin Colvert for their invaluable work in setting up this website.

Detailed information on the Dominican Lay Scholars Community (DLSC) is available on its website <www.dlsc.op.org>

BIBLE IN GENERAL

Pre-note: This most general section of the bibliography is intended for books that combine information on both the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and the New Testament in the same works, and/or present material considered by their authors as relevant to both testaments. Thus understood, much of this section is appropriate mainly for those whose bible includes both the HB/OT and the NT. For those who regard the bible as co-terminous with the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, most entries are presented in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament section of the bibliography. However, some works focused on issues common to both testaments appear only in this section, e.g. Authority of the Bible; Official Statements of Religious Authorities.

Reference Works

Pre-Note: An extensive list of general reference works would include texts & versions, concordances, lexicons, atlases, etc. as well as dictionaries and encyclopedias. Another possible addition would be works designated by their authors as “handbooks.” However, entries in the reference works sections of this bibliography are presently limited to (some) dictionaries and encyclopedias. Whether feasible to include handbooks among reference works or to place them elsewhere is an unsettled classification issue. Handbooks presently included in the bibliography are located elsewhere, mainly among the “General Introductions of various sections of the bibliography. Another unsettled classification issue is whether distinct subcategories should be provided for dictionaries and encyclopedias (as well as other general reference works that may later be added). For the present,, they are placed among the General Introductions here and elsewhere in the bibliography.

Bibliographies

The intention of this bibliography is to limit its content to introductory works. However, to enhance its utility for students, a category is also provided throughout this document for other bibliographies which are not limited to introductory works.. As yet, these “Bibliographies” categories do not have many entries. Identifying and inserting those entries is a priority.

APOCRYPHA

Pre-Note: (1) Introductions to both Old Testament and New Testament Apocrypha are presently listed here. Introductory works limited and specific to either one testament or the other are also listed in the HB/OT and NT parts of the bibliography (2) Given the fact that some books perceived as aprocryphal by some are deemed canonical by others, it may be helpful at some point to insert indicators to reflect those differences; An indicator might also be supplied for apocryphal works deemed uncanonical by everyone’s reckoning. (3) Although the apocryphal books are not themselves “introductory” works, some volumes which contain those texts are also included among the entries in this section.

AUTHORITY OF THE BIBLE

Pre-Notes: The “authority” here referred to is that attributed to the Bible itself, not to any of its interpreters. The interpretative and teaching authority attributed to religious entities is dealt with in studies that do not yet appear in this bibliography. Conceptions of divine authorship, inspiration, inerrancy and the perceived relations among them are the major focus of works in this section.

GENERAL INTRODUCTIONS

Pre-Notes: (1) The “General Introductions” categories, both here and throughout the bibliography, are intended mainly for overviews or surveys, i.e. works that present the most general information on all or most areas of scholarly interest in their designated areas. (2) An argument can be made for the inclusion of commentaries (at least single-volume commentaries) in the “General Introductions” categories. Whether to so include them is an unresolved classification issue. Many such commentaries are presently located in a category of their own, simply designated as “Commentaries.” (3) Although a listing of general introductions would suffice in a bibliography expressly designed for introductory works, this bibliography provides additional categories for studies that provide a more particular but still introductory focus on “Background,” “Criticism & Interpretation,” and “Biblical Theology.” (4) On the basis of title alone and without more precise knowledge of their content, it is difficult to determine if works entitled “introductions to scriptural studies,” or some equivalent thereof, belong in the “General Introductions” categories or in the “Criticism and Interpretation” categories. Pending such determination, works with those somewhat ambiguous titles have been tentatively placed in both categories.

BACKGROUND STUDIES

Pre-Note: As used here and elsewhere in the biblical section of the bibliography, the phrase “Background Studies” refers to works focused broadly on the social, cultural, & religious milieux, and historical frameworks in which the biblical writings were composed and whose particular features offer key insights into the latters’meanings. Because relevant to both, some interdisciplinary studies are presented both here and in the categories of “Criticism & Interpretation.” Reference Works

FORMER PROPHETS/HISTORICAL BOOKS

Pre-Note: Relatively few introductory works to the entire set of Former Prophets/Historical Books could be located in the data sources consulted for this bibliography. Much introductory information on these books is no doubt contained in commentaries and in the Histories of Israel identified in a prior section of this bibliography (HB/OT Background Studies). Some works that cover more than a single historical book, e.g. I & II Samuel, I & II Kings, but not the entire set, are included here.

INTERTESTAMENTAL STUDIES

Pre-Note : The four-fold division into Overviews, Background Studies, Criticism & Interpretation, and Biblical Theology does not seem to work here, and, even if appropriate, the limited number of identified entries does not presently warrant it. The label “intertestamental” appears to signal a focus on the relation between the HB/OT and the NT. But it is applied more conventionally to the period of time, roughly two centuries, between the composition of the last book of the HB/OT and the first book of the NT, and to certain writings produced in that intervening period. Studies on the interrelation of the two (written) testaments and the Jewish background of the NT are thus not presented here but listed instead in the NT categories, especially Background Studies, except when explicitly linked to the intertestamental literature.

(2) Synoptic Gospels Pre-Note: This category does not presently limit entries to single works that cover all three synoptic gospels. Some introductory works on individual synoptic gospels are also included, especially those that comprise multi-authored sets (e.g. the Paulist books). It may prove feasible to introduce a separate category later for introductory works on individual synoptic gospels and to identify additional entries for that category.

JOHANNINE WRITINGS

Pre-Note: In this section, separate categories are provided for: (1) the Johannine Corpus as a whole, (2) the Gospel of John, and (3) the Epistles of John. However, the actual distribution of entries into these categories stands in need of correction by those who know the literature well. A major reason for this problem is that many authors have given their works a one word title, i.e. “John,” a title that does not indicate how much of the Johannine literature they consider in the works so designated. Pending such clarification, works bearing that title are tentatively placed in the categories for the Johannine corpus as a whole.
