Description:The essays in this volume trace the Bible as it is "recycled" through a wide range of Western cultural texts, from beer to the devil--and much in between. They employ the personal voice to explore and critique the interplay between culture and biblical text, in the process investigating the "space between" the discourses of autobiographical and cultural criticism. Taken together, they illustrate the breadth of these recent approaches to the Bible as well as some of the marvelous creativity that has become the hallmark of this kind of work. The contributors are George Aichele, Fiona C. Black, Roland Boer, Deborah Krause, Ela Nutu, Tina Pippin, Hugh S. Pyper, Erin Runions, James A. Smith, and Andrew Wilson.
