This Companion volume offers a sweeping survey of the Bible as a
work of literature and its impact on Western writing. Underscoring
the sophistication of the biblical writers' thinking in diverse
areas of thought, it demonstrates how the Bible relates to many
types of knowledge and its immense contribution to education
through the ages. The volume emphasizes selected texts chosen from
different books of the Bible and from later Western writers
inspired by it. Individual essays, each written specially for this
book, examine topics such as the gruesome wonders of apocalyptic
texts, the erotic content of the Song of Songs, and Jesus' and
Paul's language and reasoning, as well as Shakespeare's reflections
on repentance in King Lear, Milton's genius in writing Paradise
Lost, the social necessity of individual virtue in Shelley's
poetry, and the mythic status of Melville's Moby Dick in the United
States and the Western world in general.
