This book is an accessible overview of the Bible’s complex and evolving reception in popular culture. Drawing on biblical interpretations in TV, film, and music, it demonstrates the enduring diversity of the Bible’s reception history.Ranging from Genesis and Exodus of the Hebrew Bible to the Gospels and Revelation of the New Testament, its biblical chronology takes a book-by-book format that locates and examines various examples of how these texts have been read, received, and interpreted. Case studies include The Handmaid's Tale, Exodus: Gods and Kings, The Da Vinci Code, and Family Guy. Woven within these chapters is fresh analysis of how themes of parody, satire, sex, and conspiracy appear in these biblical interpretations.This book is an engaging resource for students encountering biblical reception history in popular culture for the first time, and it will also be of wider interest to those intrigued by the interplay between religion, culture, and media.
