The Bible and the American Myth challenges the academic study of
the Bible to orient itself to cultural criticism. The essays model
an approach to the study of the Bible that entails efforts to
fathom not only the meanings of texts, but the role of texts in the
construction of meaning.
It is all the more fascinating and poignant that the essayists
are students of theology of varied backgrounds. What they have in
common is the pursuit of theological studies at the mouth of
Harlem. This location at the turn of the century inspired them to
think differently about the focus and agenda of theological
studies, especially biblical studies. Each essayist is convinced
that the study of the Bible should entail the study of cultural
construction and deconstruction, the study of the making and
unmaking of cultural myths that shape existence.
