How was the textbook created?
The Bible Literacy Project first created an outline of the Bibles content and then hired writers with experience in textbook writing, literature, religion, art, and music. The first draft was then reviewed by lawyers who specialize in First Amendment standards, and was submitted to 40 reviewers. Our reviewers included eminent university literature scholars; Catholic, Evangelical, Mainline Protestant, Orthodox and Jewish Biblical scholars and public high school English teachers who teach the Bible as literature. Our general editor, Cullen Schippe, the former vice president and publisher for Music, Religion and Social Studies at Macmillan/McGraw-Hill, incorporated the reviewers feedback into the textbook.
