Biblical Foundations offers a fresh perspective on the inductive method of reading the biblical narrative, specifically addressed to Christians who want to delve deeper into the Old Testament.  This easy-to-read handbook begins with the assertion that the Bible is a story, and must be read as such. Using Genesis 1-11 as the control text, J.D. Ruark proposes a family of principles to help a reader observe a story and see its literary features, ask questions of the story to interpret its meaning in its Israelite context, and then apply that story in the modern world.
