This is the first Polish ethnological monograph to present how
biblical themes function in folk culture in the context of rituals,
customs and iconographic records and is based on ethnographic
sources collected in Polish rural communities from central Poland
to diasporas in Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine in 1989-96. It shows
how biblical plots used to undergo interpretation, at the same
time, infiltrating common sense knowledge. The novelty here is the
joint analysis of themes from both Testaments, presenting the
narrations in accordance to the way the local community perceived
its identity. The biblical typology, influencing culture through
tradition and liturgy, inspired a symbolic order adjusted to cyclic
conceptions of time and space, characteristic of rural culture
