| Summary: | The cover blurb summarizes the aim of this volume very adequately: ‘The Bible in Crime Fiction and Drama brings together multi-disciplinary scholarship from the fields of biblical interpretation, literary criticism, criminology, and studies in film and television to discuss international texts and media spanning the beginning of the 20th century to the present day.’ It is thus a contribution to the reception of biblical texts in one particular genre of literature and film. It succeeds in showing that recognizing biblical texts and tropes—many not apparent to readers unfamiliar with the Bible—contributes greatly to a proper appreciation of literary and visual ‘texts’ concerned with violent death. |
