"Debora Shuger is one of the most original interpreters of the English Renaissance now writing, and The Renaissance Bible is her best book yet. . . . [It] will help revitalize the study of religion for Renaissance scholars and cultural critics generally."--Jeffrey Knapp, author of An Empire Nowhere "This book is of vital importance to Renaissance studies. It demonstrates clearly and forcefully that Renaissance biblical scholarship is not a specialized discipline set apart, but one embedded deeply in the cultural matrices of the period. Shuger's graceful and seamless juxtapositions of evidence drawn from theology, philology, history, legal studies, politics, literature, and social institutions make her own method recapitulate the aura of the cultural grab bag that characterized the wide-ranging richly-textured Renaissance biblical discourse."--Regina Schwartz, author of Remembering and Repeating: On Milton's Theology and PoeticsShuger, Debora K. is the author of 'Renaissance Bible' with ISBN 9780520084803 and ISBN 0520084802.
