Specially commissioned chapters demonstrate that just as the arts have portrayed biblical stories in a variety of ways and media over the centuries, so what we call ?the? Bible is not actually a single entity but has been composed of fiercely contested translations of texts in many languages, whose selection has depended historically on a variety of cultural pressures, theological, social, and, not least, aesthetic.Key FeaturesDivided into 3 sections, Inspiration and Theory, Art and Architecture, and LiteratureGenerously illustratedCovers aesthetic interpretations of specific biblical books; of the Hebrew and Christian Bibles as a whole; the transmission of biblical texts; various bindings and illustrations of Bibles ? in response to pressures as diverse as Islamic craftsmanship and the English ReformationIncludes biblical influences on poetry, painting, church architecture, decoration, and stained glass; on poetry, hymns, novels, plays, and fantasy literatureSpans the earliest days of the Christian era to the present 606 $aArts in the Bible 606 $aChristian art and symbolism 606 $aChristian drama in art 615 0$aArts in the Bible. 615 0$aChristian art and symbolism. 615 0$aChristian drama in art. 676 $a261.57 700 $aPrickett$b Stephen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0449123 702 $aPrickett$b Stephen 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794168903321 996 $aThe Edinburgh companion to the Bible and the arts$93700618 997 $aUNINA
