Beschreibung:
What is the future for the Bible, one of the most important booksin the world? In this manifesto, Roland Boer explores the idea thatthe Bible is an unruly and uncontrollable text that has beencolonized by church, synagogue, and state.* * Powerfully argues that the Bible needs to be rescued from itsabuse by the religious and political right* Considers the history of revolutionary readings of the Bible,from Gerrard Winstanley to the present* Urges a role for the Bible in a new "worldly left": an alliancebetween the religious and secular left that can promote moreprogressive readings of the text* Concludes by offering a "political myth" from the Bible thatcondemns oppression, imagines a better society and celebrates thebiblical themes of opposition and chaos.
