The Bible and the Believer: How to Read the Bible Critically and Religiously by Marc Zvi Brettler, Daniel J. Harrington, Peter Enns
4.0
A great example of interreligious dialogue, Brettler (Jewish), Enns (Protestant), and Harrington (Catholic) discuss their approaches to reconciling the historical-critical study of the Bible with a religious worldview. All three essays are brief introductions on how each would approach the Scripture with their respective camps (which also includes a brief history of interpretive approaches) and a reply from each contributor.
These essays are useful in getting a feel for how a comparative study of interpretation would look like. Are they useful references? Yes, but again, for introductions. Are they enlightening? Not really. But it was still a good refresher nonetheless.
