Blackwell Companion to the Bible And Culture

The Blackwell Companion to the Bible and Culture offers readers a stimulating, one-volume reference source about twenty-first century approaches to the Bible. Drawing on interdisciplinary and international examples, the volume explores how the Bible has impacted on all the major social contexts where it has been influential - ancient, medieval and modern, world-wide. The Companion consists of 30 articles written by distinguished specialists, accompanied by comprehensive bibliographies. Taken together, these articles emphasize the multi-faceted nature of the Bible and its impact on the world. They help to bridge the gap between specialist biblical studies and other disciplines such as literature, art, music, history, theology, religious studies, politics and psychology.Sawyer, John is the author of 'Blackwell Companion to the Bible And Culture ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781405101363 and ISBN 1405101369.
