For more than four decades, David Lyle Jeffrey has enriched the
world of Christian scholarship. Throughout his work, Jeffrey has
drawn attention to the ways in which imaginative engagements with
biblical texts have been central to major shifts in Christian and
post-Christian hermeneutics, ethics, and aesthetics. The purpose of
this volume is to challenge and deepen that growing discourse by
showing how English literature across varied traditions unfolds a
central Christian interaction between divine Incarnation, invented
narrative, and ethical praxis. In their essays, the authors
demonstrate how an imaginative engagement with biblical narratives,
in historical or contemporary writing, continues to provide a
fruitful means to address the intellectual and ethical antinomies
of the postmodern scene. The articles in this collection form two
groups: the first set of essays focuses on specific episodes or
moments of historical change within European biblical literary
traditions; the second group focuses on the dissemination of
biblical literary engagements in areas outside of European
contexts, ranging from North America to South Africa to China.
Unique in the wide range of topics it covers-itself a reflection of
Jeffrey's own broad scope of scholarship-the collection functions
as a working example of Jeffrey's thesis that the biblical
tradition has a far-reaching influence on the development of
Western literature, even by those who are reluctant to acknowledge
its present influence.
