Tom Henn's classic work represents an important and illuminating
reading for the student of English literature and religion, the
general reader of the Bible and the Bible lover. Based on the King
James (Authorised) Version of the Bible, Dr Henn looks critically
at the epic, narrative, lyric and dramatic qualities of the sacred
texts. He examines the Bible's unique forge of style and the
imagery which so profoundly give the Bible its Biblical character.
The Bible's immense variety, its capacity to speak to the heart and
mind of the reader, its powerful readability and above all its
sense of the eternal, are all brought into Henn's masterly work. As
Henn says: 'The Bible has been burned deeply into the fabric of the
life and literature of the English-speaking peoples. Its proverbs
and its parables, its episodes sacred or profane, have been
expounded in drama and poetry from the earliest written English.'
