Description
The Bible: A Very Short Introduction by John Riches This introduction to the Bible explores its material, cultural, and religious history. From how the books were written down and collected as authoritative texts, to their production and distribution across the world, Riches examines how they have been read and interpreted by different communities in various languages. He also considers post-colonial and feminist readings of the Bible, and looks at its uses in art, music, poetry, and politics.
