Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This brilliantly accessible and engaging book canvasses one of the heaviest themes in the Bible, examining portrayals of violence in its many forms. Unlike so many accessible Bible studies, Violence & the Bible for Normal People resists the temptation to provide "neat and tidy" theological solutions to some of the most challenging texts in the Bible, instead naming them for what they are and examining their ongoing legacies. Weaving her love of true crime and old-school murder mysteries with her extensive expertise, biblical scholar Caroline Blyth has written a book that is both profoundly honest and engaging-that honors the weighty legacies of these texts, but resists being weighed down by them. If you struggle with biblical portrayals of violence-human and divine-this book is for you. If you have ever seethed in church as violence was described as adultery, this book is for you. If you are seeking a trustworthy guide through the Bible's texts of terror, this book is for you. Join Caroline Blyth as she illuminates some of the darkest biblical narratives and gently examines the questions they raise, both for their authors and their readers today.…

Paperback. Condition: New. In this fascinating book, Caroline Blyth takes a close look at Bibles marketed to teen girls and asks how these might perpetuate harmful gender stereotypes that lie at the heart of rape culture. The author considers the devotionals, commentaries, and advice sections placed throughout these Bibles, which offer teen girl readers life advice on topics such as friendships, body image, and how to navigate romantic relationships. Within these discussions, there is a strong emphasis on modesty, purity, and sexual passivity as markers of young women's 'godliness'. Yet, as the author argues, these gendered ideals are prescribed to readers using rape-supportive discourses and the tactics of coercive control. Moreover, the placement of these various editorial inserts within the pages of sacred scripture gives them considerable power to reinforce deeply harmful ideologies about gender, sexuality, and sexual violence. Given the seeming popularity of these Bibles among Christian teen girls, the need to dismantle their damaging rhetoric is especially urgent.This book will be of particular interest to those studying the Bible, religion, gender, and theology, as well as the general reader.…

Paperback. Condition: New. The Bible has always enjoyed notoriety within the genres of crime fiction and drama; numerous authors have explicitly drawn on biblical traditions as thematic foci to explore social anxieties about violence, religion, and the search for justice and truth. The Bible in Crime Fiction and Drama brings together a 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. The volume concludes with an afterword by crime writer and academic, Liam McIvanney. These essays explore both explicit and implicit engagements between biblical texts and crime narratives, analysing the multiple layers of meaning that such engagements can produce - cross-referencing Sherlock Holmes with the murder mystery in the Book of Tobit, observing biblical violence through the eyes of Christian fundamentalists in Henning Mankell's Before the Frost, catching the thread of homily in the serial murders of Se7en, or analysing biblical sexual violence in light of television crime procedurals. The contributors also raise intriguing questions about the significance of the Bible as a religious and cultural text - its association with the culturally pervasive themes of violence, (im)morality, and redemption, and its relevance as a symbol of the (often fraught) location that religion occupies within contemporary secular culture.…
