This Companion volume offers a sweeping survey of the Bible as a work of literature and its impact on Western writing. Underscoring the sophistication of the biblical writers thinking in diverse areas of thought, it demonstrates how the Bible relates to many types of knowledge and its immense contribution to education through the ages. The volume emphasizes selected texts chosen from different books of the Bible and from later Western writers inspired by it. Individual essays, each written specially for this book, examine topics such as the gruesome wonders of apocalyptic texts, the erotic content of the Song of Songs, and Jesus and Pauls language and reasoning, as well as Shakespeares reflections on repentance in King Lear, Miltons genius in writing Paradise Lost, the social necessity of individual virtue in Shelleys poetry, and the mythic status of Melvilles Moby Dick in the United States and the Western world in general.
