Used by believers, con artists, and advertisers, among others, the Bible remains the most compelling compendium of stories of all others in the number of Americans it influences with its enduring appeal. Boyle and Dempsey present this multicultural volume which explores forms, genres, and themes of some biblical texts which have influenced many twentieth and twenty-first-century authors. They note the importance of story-sharing in a culture--it promotes cultural cohesion, shapes personal self-image and national culture--and authority figures can use stories to establish societal expectations, mold public and private consciences, and embody national identity. Nine chapters are divided into two parts: an interplay of biblical and literary genres; an interplay of biblical and literary themes. Chapters are: myth; archetypal and historical myth; parable; dramatic poetry; lyric poetry as prayer; theme of the spiritual quest; the theme of love; the theme of war and peace; the theme of liberation.
