What do people know about the Bible, and how much do they know? The
media often discusses the worrying 'decline' in biblical literacy,
but what does this really mean, and how can we measure this assumed
'decline'? How can we go about teaching 'biblical literacy', and
about teaching teachers how to teach it? Rethinking Biblical
Literacy explores the question of biblical literacy, examining the
Bible's use, influence and impact in advertising, street art,
poetry, popular erotic literature, Irish and UK secondary
education, stand-up comedy and The Simpsons TV series to display
the different types of literacy and knowledge of the Bible. Katie
B. Edwards brings together several specialists in the cultural use,
impact and influence of the Bible to examine the contested nature
of biblical literacy and to explore the variety of ways of
'knowing' about the Bible. The picture created is one of a broad
range and at times surprising depth of knowledge about what remains
arguably the most influential collection of texts ever to be
published.
