Reviews

"Clearly organized and gracefully written essays. . . offer learned and thoughtful insights into texts and their times. . . . Together they yield a colorful kaleidoscope of shifting attitudes toward religion and of the cultural reception and popular utilizations of the Bible in early modern Europe."—Theodore Ziolkowski, Journal of Religion
