Inhaltsangabe

This book considers the Bible as a public edifice and cultural symbol as well as a set of texts and images that are often strangely 'unbiblical' and 'irreligious'. Sherwood considers different ways of talking and thinking about the Bible and investigates blasphemy across disciplines including politics, literature and visual theory.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'[Sherwood] takes the reader on dizzying excursions through religious studies, biblical studies, postmodern theory, midrash, and straight history, barely pausing to allow us to take a breath. She is truly interdisciplinary in that she enables the different disciplines in her intellectual purview to jar and combine. Above all, it is a work of pleasure, both of writing and of reading.' Review of Biblical Literature
