Biblical Reception 1
£80.00
Our new journal is a substantial annual volume covering all kinds of use of the Bible — in art, literature, music, film and popular culture, as well as in the history of interpretation.
This is the first volume of a new journal, Biblical Reception (BibRec), published in November 2012.
It is high time, we believe, for the new and burgeoning field of the reception of the Bible to have a publication medium of its own. What the biblical text has meant to its readers down the centuries should be as much the subject of scholarly attention as any ‘original’ meaning.

Caroline Blyth, Relegere: Studies in Religion and Reception –
[T]he delicious new annual by Sheffield Phoenix Press, Biblical Reception… was a treat to read, packed as it was with fascinating, innovative, and inspiring examples of the sheer potential of biblical reception studies. For scholars, it provides just a glimpse of the innumerable and rich possibilities that engagement between biblical texts and their multifaceted afterlives can bring to the discipline of biblical studies. For students and interested readers of the biblical traditions, it will also serve as an inspirational springboard, capturing attention and inviting participation in a broad and vibrant dialogue.
