This book traces the emergence and development of Literature and
the Bible as a field of scholarship, presenting key critical essays
alongside more recent criticism that explores new directions. The
Western literary tradition has a long and complex relationship with
the Jewish and Christian scriptures. Authors draw on the Bible in
numerous ways and for different reasons, and there is also the
myriad of subconscious ways through which the biblical text enters
literary culture. Biblical stories, characters, motifs and
references permeate the whole of the literary tradition. In the
last thirty years there has been a growth of critical interest in
this relationship. In Literature and the Bible: A Reader the
editors bring together a selection of the key critical and
theoretical materials from this time, providing a comprehensive
resource for students and scholars. Each chapter contains: * An
introduction from the editors, contextualising the material within
and alerting readers to some of the historic debates that feed into
the extracts chosen * A set of previously published extracts of
substantial length, offering greater contextualisation and allowing
the Reader to be used flexibly * Lists of further reading,
providing readers with a wide variety of other sources and
perspectives. Designed to be used alongside the Bible and selected
literary texts, this book is essential reading for anyone studying
Literature and the Bible in undergraduate English, Religion and
Theology degrees.
