| Summary: | This collection of essays offers a wide range of unexpected readings of the Bible in popular culture, literature, film, music, and politics. It emerges from various invited lectures that the author has given on cultural appropriations of the Bible, and builds on his earlier work in this area, notably An Unsuitable Book: The Bible as Scandalous Text (Sheffield: Sheffield Phoenix, 2005)., Hugh Pyper’s point throughout the present volume is that the Bible’s effects may surprise and sometimes dismay both religious and secular groups when it is ‘free to roam’, unchained from the constraints of the Church. |
