Why have so many prominent literary authors-from Philip Pullman and
Jose Saramago to Michele Roberts and Colm Toibim-recently rewritten
the canonical story of Jesus Christ? What does that say about our
supposedly secular age? In this insightful study, Magdalena
Maczynska defines and examines the genre of scriptural metafiction:
novels that not only transform religious texts but also draw
attention to these transformations. In addition to providing rich
examples and close readings, Maczynska positions literary studies
within interdisciplinary debates about religion and secularity. Her
book demonstrates a surprising turn of events: even as contemporary
novelists deconstruct the traditional categories of "secular" and
"sacred" writing, they open up new spaces for scripture in
contemporary culture.
