This book traces the diverse ways in which overlooked forms of
cultural media, existing outside the sphere of 'popular culture,
interact with the Bible. Supporting the theory that there is no
singular 'Bible' and that biblical literacy is demonstrated in a
multitude of ways outside of biblical text alone, those who
contribute to this book explore precisely how which multiple
'cultural Bibles' co-exist simultaneously, in various forms which
represent, allude to, perpetuate, challenge or subvert biblical
narratives and the Bible. Such perspectives demonstrate the means
by which the Bible continues to inform culture outside of the
religious. Beginning with an introductory analysis of the Bible in
visual cultural media - including definitions of what 'culture',
'subculture', 'counterculture' and 'popular culture' mean in this
respect - the contributors explore the myriad methods in which
cultural media represents, alludes to, challenges, questions and
troubles biblical narratives. By discussing topics gathered under
depictions of sex and gender, troubling and whitewashed
representations, biblical allusions in subcultural media, and
subverting or challenging biblical authority, this volume offers
new studies on subcultural representations of the Bible which seek
to interrogate, perpetuate and/or challenge dominant cultural ideas
of what the Bible is, and who it is for.
