The Cambridge Companion to the Bible and Literature

The Bible is studded with literary gems that have influenced Western writers for centuries. Carmichael has pulled together a noteworthy crew, who comment on such selected passages in the Song of Songs, Jesus' parables, and the Apocalypse, as well as later masterpieces King Lear, Moby Dick, Paradise Lost, and the poetry of Shelley. Scrumptious food for thought! 285 pages, softcover.
