Info
Biblical Studies, Old
Testament and OT Interpretation
This topical volume deals with the adoption of biblical language and
narrative and the presentation of 'biblical' images and themes in popular
literature, art and mass media. The chapters, all written by experts
in cultural studies of the Bible, explore how ideologies are produced,
in various ways, when biblical texts are brought into play with each
other, with other texts, and with the inevitable and continual demands
for cultural and historical "translation"-or "recycling"-of
the scriptures. The volume contains some theoretical reflections, but
focuses on specific examples of cultural translation, and is directed
primarily at advanced (graduate) students and scholars in biblical studies,
popular studies, media studies, literature, and the arts, although some
articles will also be of value and interest to introductory students
and the general public. The contributors to this volume are Fiona Black,
Susan Lochrie Graham, Chris Heard, Helen Leneman, Phyllis Silverman
Kramer, Tina Pippin, Caroline Vader Stichele, Lori Rowlett, Erin Runions,
Jan William Tarlin and Richard Walsh.
