The essays in this volume trace the Bible as it is “recycled” through a wide range of Western cultural texts, from beer to the devil—and much in between. They employ the personal voice to explore and critique the interplay between culture and biblical text, in the process investigating the “space between” the discourses of autobiographical and cultural criticism. Taken together, they illustrate the breadth of these recent approaches to the Bible as well as some of the marvelous creativity that has become the hallmark of this kind of work.

“The Recycled Bible is a thought-provoking postmodern venture, a ‘bag of resources’ well worth having on one’s shelves (see in particular the introductory article by Black, which sets out a very helpful history of autobiography and cultural studies) and is a must for anyone interested in both autobiographical criticism and the ubiquitous cultural studies.”
