Barry W. Holtz's "Textual Knowledge" is for anyone teaching the Holy
Scriptures of the Jewish people. Although it explores things central to
Jewish education, it can't but be also be of interest to educators from
other religious traditions and for those teaching the Bible in secular
institutions such as universities.
The reason for it is because the primary thrust of this work is not so much
the Bible, but its pedagogy - to make it deeper, richer, more thoughtful and
thus more powerful for students of any age and in any setting.
