Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart provides
readers a forum for more fully comprehending the Bible. Each book of the Bible
tells a story that relates to the larger story, and to understand each book’s
story it is important to understand the larger story, and vice versa. To do so,
however, entails a careful reading of the entire Bible, grasping both the fact
of the story and the spirit of the story. Understanding
the Bible: Head and Heart provides prose summaries for helping the reader
to understand and remember the fact of the story, and poetic summaries for
helping the reader to experience the story and thereby to more readily ingest
its spirit.
Since Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart would
be a bit lengthy under one cover, it is divided into three parts: Part One
addresses The Old Testament; Part Two addresses Matthew through Acts; and Part
Three addresses Romans through Revelation. This publication is Part Two. Part Three is forthcoming.
Bob Dowell, English
professor, retired from the University of Texas-Pan American in 1999 in order
to devote full time to a project conceived while teaching his favorite course:
“The Bible as Literature.” He envisioned developing a forum in which readers
could readily engage in a head and heart understanding of the Bible. For a
decade he worked on the project all the while piloting his production through a
church sponsored bible study: “Back to the Bible with Dr. Bob.” The success of
that study spoke convincingly to the efficacy of publishing the materials for purposes
of reaching a wider audience. Thus, Dr. Bob’s vision becomes a reality in the
publication of Understanding the Bible:
Head and Heart. Fittingly, his first publication as a professor is an
article in College English (1965) entitled
“The Moment of Grace in the Fiction of Flannery O’Connor.”
