Recenzii
Mentioned.
This is a fascinating collection, well-researched and reader-friendly. At the same time, the essays reveal a troubling fact: namely, that culture seems to make a greater impression on religious matters than biblical values do on culture. The book will be of interest to a broad audience.
The various contributors of this edited volume critically examine a variety of ways in which the Bible functions within culture ... On the evidence of this volume alone, it seems that the Bible is alive and well as a cultural commodity. Whilst people may no longer read the Bible in the way they once did ... they read it through film and television, through comedy and music, through politics and education. If biblical studies is ... the discipline of the study of the way people read the Bible, there may well be life in the old dog yet.
The book always remains stimulating and entertaining while rigorously engaging with the subject matter.
Rethinking Biblical Literacy is eminently readable and informative, and will be of interest to anyone who is concerned with the cultural appropriation of the Bible.
The range of case studies presented is fascinating ... [All] who value the Bible should pay heed to the evidence this book provides that knowledge and use of the Bible remains alive in (perhaps) the most surprising places.
The contributions in this volume bring the Bible out from dust-covered shelves and dwindling bible-study groups and examine it in contexts where it is alive and kicking: in school classrooms, political rhetoric, popular television shows and fiction, music videos and comedy routines. A breath of fresh air!
Anyone who has ever sighed about our "biblically illiterate" society needs to read this book. Katie Edwards has marshaled an exciting collection of voices to review the use of Bible in contemporary culture and challenge facile (elitist?) assumptions about what we mean by "biblically literate." The collection persistently demonstrates that a society "ignorant" and "uninterested" in the Bible invokes it rather often in popular culture and media. This is essential reading for those who don't want to parrot tired laments over the death of biblical influence but, instead, to understand the way Bible actually appears in our modern context.
Rethinking Biblical Literacy is a very welcome contribution to the debate that problematizes the lamented/applauded decline of biblical literacy. Exposing hidden assumptions and complicated political interests, it points to the ambiguity of the concept and shows how users make it serve conservative, subversive or even conflicting agendas. The volume should be mandatory reading for reception critics, but it can be recommended to anybody interested in the role of biblical traditions in contemporary society.
What does it mean to be biblically literate? This thought-provoking and materially diverse collection suggests many answers to the question and succeeds in complicating the biblical literacy debate so far. Is biblical literacy on the wane or might it actually be rising due to the recycling of biblical themes in popular culture?
The picture created is one of a broad range and at times surprising depth of knowledge about what remains arguably the most influential collection of texts ever published.
