Dr. Barry R. Sang, professor of religion and chair of the Religion & Philosophy Department at Catawba College, has published a textbook for introductory courses in Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. His book, Revealing® the Hebrew Bible, is available only online at www.thinkingstrings.com.
According to an online description about this introductory text, it assumes "no prior knowledge of the Hebrew Bible..." and "blends an emphasis on both story and scholarship." The description also notes that "The Hebrew Bible has shaped the lives of millions of people over more than two millennia. It is scripture for Judaism and Christianity, and sacred text for Islam."
Sang joined the faculty of Catawba College in 1985. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Carroll College in Wisconsin; a Master of Divinity degree from Colgate Rochester Theological Seminary in New York state; and a Master of Philosophy and Ph.D. in Biblical Studies from Drew University in New Jersey. Dr. Sang maintains ordinations in the American Baptist Churches, USA, and in the Presbyterian Church, USA. His special fields of interest are New Testament studies, Old Testament prophecy, and Process Theology.
