Course Description:
The Bible has played a formative and diverse part in English literature over many centuries. Its stories, its politics, its poetic forms, its theological and philosophical demands have been encountered in numerous ways, such that every era has in effect reinvented the Bible.

It is a text that has no proprietor, and no equal as a work of public property, liable to both revolutionary and conservative appropriations. It has provided and continues to provide an unfathomably wide range of religious and spiritual visions.
