Description

Rethinking Biblical Literacy explores how people know about the Bible and what this knowledge entails. The author examines various aspects of biblical literacy, including its influence on advertising, street art, poetry, popular literature, education, stand-up comedy, and television shows like The Simpsons. Katie Edwards brings together several specialists to investigate the contested nature of biblical literacy and the diverse ways people engage with the Bible. This book presents a nuanced picture of knowledge about the Bible, revealing both surprising depth and breadth of understanding. By examining different types of literacy and knowledge, Rethinking Biblical Literacy sheds light on the complexities of biblical studies and challenges common assumptions about this influential collection of texts.
