Description

Product Description In this book, Travis DeCook explores the theological and political innovations found in early modern accounts of the Bible's origins. In the charged climate produced by the Reformation and humanist historicism, writers grappled with the tension between the Bible's divine and human aspects, and they produced innovative narratives regarding the agencies and processes through which the Bible came into existence and was transmitted. DeCook investigates how these accounts of Scripture's production were taken up beyond the expected boundaries of biblical study, and were redeployed as the theological basis for wide-reaching arguments about the proper ordering of human life. DeCook provides a new, critical perspective on ideas regarding secularity, secularization, and modernity, challenging the dominant narratives regarding the Bible's role in these processes. He shows how these engagements with the Bible's origins prompt a rethinking of formulations of secularity and secularization in our own time. Book Description Explores the cultural functions played in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries by accounts of the Bible's origins. About the Author Travis DeCook is the co-editor of Shakespeare, the Bible, and the Form of the Book (2011), and of Taking Exception to the Law (2015). He has published articles in journals such as Literature and Theology, Religion and Literature, and Studies in Philology.
