Fine in Fine jacket. Size: 8vo-over 7? -9? " tall; Type: Hard Back First Edition. Hardcover Book and Dust Jacket in Fine Condition. Archival protective jacket cover. Some of the most interesting and provocative literary writers explore the meaning of the Judeo-Christian Bible-the Old and New Testament-in their lives. Writers such as John Barth, James McCourt, Mary Gaitskill, Bharati Mukherjee, Joyce Carol Oates, Robert Coles, and many more approach the Bible not from a religious point of view but as a literary, imaginative, and cultural bedrock to society and literature. They examine what the Bible means to them and to their work and thereby reveal how the Judeo-Christian culture affects our private lives in many ways, and how the Bible has shaped and altered their thoughts. 547 pages with short biographies of the contributing authors. 9.5 x 6.5 inches. 1996, Anchor Books, New York, New York, U.S.A.
