Looking Through a Glass Bible - Postdisciplinary Biblical Interpretations from the Glasgow School

Infused with literary, political, art-critical, cinematic, liturgical and other interests, these essays display interpretive verve freed from the anxiety of disciplines -- with closely observed interpretive insights, critical engagement with biblical texts, and vivid inspiration from their cultural worlds.
