Revealing^® World Religions includes twelve modules that explore the religions most often taught in introductory courses—Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Daoism, Confucianism, Shinto, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—along with modules on the academic study of religion, indigenous religions, and religious pluralism in the 21st century.

Revealing^® Eastern Religions guides students on their exploration of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Daoism, Confucianism, and Shinto, looking at the history, practices, and beliefs of each religion, as well as the links between related religions.

Revealing^® Western Religions guides students on their academic study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, looking at the history, practices, and beliefs of each religion. Images, sounds, excerpts from scripture, and first-hand accounts of contemporary practitioners enliven students’ exploration.

Blending emphases on story and scholarship, Revealing^® the Hebrew Bible addresses the fundamental questions necessary for navigating the Hebrew Bible and for historical understanding of its rich contents. The text provides not only frequent references to primary sources, but also the primary sources themselves, especially the NRSV Hebrew Bibl

Revealing^® the New Testament is designed to equip students for responsible engagement by bringing the New Testament to life as a historically situated, theologically diverse, and ethically fraught text—or, rather, an anthology of early Christian texts, each with its own distinctive voice. This lively introduction engages each of the narratives and letters that make up the New Testament on its own terms.

Revealing^® the Gospels is designed to equip students to engage appreciatively, knowledgeably, and critically with the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Students are skillfully and painlessly introduced to both the “old” and the “new” in gospel scholarship.

Revealing^® Paul equips students to engage appreciatively, knowledgeably, and critically with Paul, his letters, and his complex legacy. Students will acquire a sophisticated understanding of ancient pseudonymity, “the new perspective on Paul,” and the theological content of the Pauline letters in relation to their circumstances of production.

Revealing^® the New Testament Narratives is a timely and unique critical introduction to the six full-length narratives in the New Testament—the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; the Acts of the Apostles; and the Book of Revelation. Students learn the main critical methods used to study the narratives; who wrote them, why, and in what circumstances; their theologies and christologies; how they work as plotted narratives; how gender is represented and constructed; how Judaism is represented and embodied; and how politics infuses them, especially issues of social justice and relations to empire.

Aiming to be the most accessible introduction to these ancient, often obscure letters available, Revealing^® the New Testament Letters guides students to engage appreciatively, knowledgeably, and critically with each letter, understanding its original purpose, its theological message, and its ethical prescriptions, as well as any ethical conundrums it throws up for contemporary readers.
