Abrahamic scriptures serve as cultural pharmakon, prescribing what
can act as both poison and remedy. This collection shows that their
sometimes veiled but eternally powerful polemics can both destroy
and build, exclude and include, and serve as the ultimate
justification for cruelty or compassion. Here, scholars not only
excavate these works for their formative and continuing cultural
impact on communities, identities, and belief systems, they select
some of the most troubling topics that global communities continue
to navigate. Their analysis of both texts and their reception help
explain how these texts promote norms and build collective
identities. Rejecting the notion of the sacred realm as separate
from the mundane realm and beyond critical challenge, this
collection argues-both implicitly and sometimes transparently-for
the presence of the sacred within everyday life and open to
challenge. The very rituals, prayers, and traditions that are
deemed sacred interweave into our cultural systems in infinite
ways. Together, these authors explore the dynamic nature of
everyday life and the often-brutal power of these texts over
everyday meaning.
