Book excerpt: "Key contributions to scholarship in biblical studies that engages or is influenced by cultural studies are presented in this volume of critical readings. The volume focuses on harder to locate foundational pieces and presents them in line with more recent studies to situate and trace the revolution in biblical studies that led rise to the wealth of work in reception history and the study of cultural engagements with the bible. As a result the volume provides a grounding in key theoretical perspectives, and history of scholarship as well as an orientation to the discipline as it is now. As with other volumes in the Critical Readings series the volume features a general introduction, as well as introductions each section of the book: theoretical underpinnings, characters and passages in popular culture, motifs and methods, film and television. These introductions situate and frame the readings for readers and researchers. At the end of each section is an annotated bibliography of further readings, which will prompt further research and discussion."--
