What happens when the written words of biblical scripture are
transformed into experiential, choreographed environments? To
answer this question, anthropologist James Bielo explores a diverse
range of practices and places that "materialize the Bible,"
including gardens, theme parks, shrines, museums, memorials,
exhibitions, theatrical productions, and other forms of
replication. Integrating ethnographic, archival, and mass media
data, case studies focus primarily on U.S. Christianity from the
late 19th-century to the present. Composed as 20 short chapters
that may be read in any order, the book is divided into three
sections. Section I, "Variations on Replication," analyzes examples
that recontextualize elements from the (actual or imagined)
biblical past. Section II, "The Power of Nature," turns to the
natural world associated with Christian scripture and how it is
mobilized as a privileged media. Section III, "Choreographing
Experience," examines lived interactions with the affordances of
materializing the Bible. Bielo argues that materializing the Bible
works as an authorizing practice to intensify intimacies with
scripture and circulate potent ideologies. Performed through the
sensory experience of bodies, physical technologies, and
infrastructures of place, Bielo illustrates how this phenomenon is
always, ultimately, about expressions of power.

Deep in the heart of every believer is the hunch, if not the
conviction, that somewhere the Bible must sketch a portrait of the
Lord Jesus Christ like this one. He must be the strong Man of God
Who can fight against incredible odds and win the victory
decisively. The purpose of the narrative on Samson in the book of
Judges is to give us that portrayal, so we can realize and glory in
the accomplishments of Jesus Christ like never before. Samson
provides that unparalleled picture of Christ for us. Some will
protest, "Samson was a womanizer! He can't be a type of Christ!"
Squeamish commentators have thought that for years. But types of
Christ are not determined by moral purity, but by the nature of
their acts and how they can represent the things Christ has done.
Christ has vanquished foes far more formidable than any giant and
more numerous than any Philistine horde. He has fought the
spiritual powers of darkness, with faith in God as His only weapon.
He has taken the sword of death from Satan himself and now holds
the keys of death and hades. God has used the mighty, powerful and
miraculous victories of Samson to portray the faith of Christ.
Christ's is a faith that never loses. Isaiah prophesied of Jesus,
"I set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed"
(50:7). Philip Scranton is a graduate of Mid-Continent University
in Biblical Studies, and pursued graduate work in Biblical
Languages. He was pastor of two churches and has written numerous
magazine articles, especially in Old Testament Studies.
Handy for people who want to carry a New Testament in their pocket
or purse
