About the book

The Bible Designed to Be Read as Literature presents biblical writings with particular emphasis on their qualities as narrative, poetry and literary expression. Rather than dividing the text primarily according to traditional verse numbering, the presentation encourages readers to experience the rhythms, structures and storytelling of the original works. The result highlights the enormous literary richness of the Bible, from historical narratives and prophetic writings to poetry, wisdom literature and the Gospels. It also demonstrates the profound influence biblical language and imagery have had on English literature and culture.
