This book is an accessible overview of the Bibles complex and evolving reception in popular culture. Drawing on biblical interpretations in TV, film, and music, it demonstrates the enduring diversity of the Bibles reception history.
Ranging from Genesis and Exodus to the Gospels and Revelation of the New Testament, its biblical chronology takes a book-by-book format which locates and examines various examples of how these texts have been read, received, and interpreted. Case studies include The Handmaid''s Tale, Exodus: God and Kings, The DaVinci Code and Family Guy. Woven within these chapters is fresh analysis of how themes of parody, satire, sex, and conspiracy appear in these biblical interpretations.
With discussion questions, further reading lists, and glossaries, this book is an engaging resource for students encountering biblical reception history in popular culture for the first time. It will also be of wider interest to those interested in the interplay between religion, culture, and media.
