The vital and continuing relationship between the Bible and the Arts is amply demonstrated in this collection of remarkably wide-ranging essays and text-specific illustrations. General readers will enjoy its accessibly-presented, fresh perspectives, while scholars will wish to keep this treasure-house of illuminating scholarship close at hand.

Elisabeth Jay, Oxford Brookes University

A companion of great range and depth

- Paul Ellingworth, METHODIST RECORDER

The subject may be vast, but this collection is an invaluable contribution, which lends light on the mysterious, beautiful, and profound ways the arts and the Bible have informed each other and how together they help us understand the “human situation” more fully.

- Michael Heath, Columbia sc, Religion and the Arts

An authoritative assessment of the changing relationship between the Bible and the arts In this unique Companion, 35 scholars, from world-famous to just beginning, explore the role of the Bible in art and of artistic motifs in the Bible. The 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.

Examines the changing relationship between the Bible and the arts, showing how the arts portray biblical stories in various ways and through various media, and how ‘the’ Bible is actually multiple entities: fiercely contested translations in many languages. Generously illustrated with examples including painting, architecture and stained glass.
