Letters of Grace and Beauty: A Guided Literary Study of New Testament Epistles by Leland Ryken  

This is the third of a six-volume series called Reading the Bible as Literature. As with the first two volumes (How Bible Stories Work and Sweeter Than Honey, Richer Than Gold), the author explores the intersection of the Bible and literature. In this third volume, Dr. Ryken shows pastors and students and teachers of the Bible how the literary craftsmanship of the epistles leads to a richer understanding of its contents. And after explaining the literary makeup of the epistles, he provides exercises to his readers master this rich literary treasure. Speaking of the entire series, Ryken says that \"the niche that these volumes are designed to fill is the literary approach to the Bible. This has been my scholarly passion for nearly half a century. It is my belief that a literary approach to the Bible is the common reader's friend, in contract to the more specialized types of scholarship on the Bible.\"
