The contributors apply a variety of critical concepts and methods from the field of fantasy studies, including the theories of Tolkien, Todorov, Rosemary Jackson and Jack Zipes, to Biblical texts and challenge theological suppositions regarding the texts which take refuge in science or historiography. Violence, Utopia and the Kingdom of God presents a provocative and arresting new analysis of Biblical texts which draws on the most recent critical approaches to provide a unique study of the Biblical narrative.Bible as literatureFantasy literatureHistory and criticismFantasyReligious aspectsBible as literature.Fantasy literatureHistory and criticism.FantasyReligious aspects.220.6/6Pippin Tina1956-1094836Aichele George1594941MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824440303321Violence, utopia, and the kingdom of God3939751UNINA
