| I have been working on a book, tentatively titled The Bible in the News for the University of Virginia Press. Biblical scholars, I think, have tended to focus almost exclusively on the origins of the biblical text and have too quickly dismissed questions of what the Bible, or more accurately, what bibles have become. My current research focuses primarily on news stories in North America as a starting point for discussion of controversies in biblical interpretation. My presentation today is an introduction to this study. |
