Présentation de l'éditeur :
"The stories you are about to read are some of the most violent and sexually explicit in all of Western literature. They are tales of human passion in all of its infinite variety: adultery, seduction, incest, rape, mutilation, assassination, torture, sacrifice, and murder. . . ."
Sex. Violence. Scandal. These are words we rarely associate with the sacred text of the Bible. Yet in this brilliant book, Jonathan Kirsch recounts shocking tales that have been suppressed by religious authorities throughout history. Kirsch places each story within the political and social context of its time, delves into the latest biblical scholarship to explain why each one was originally censored, and shows how these ancient narratives hold valuable lessons for all of us.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Very Good. A controversial perspective on the Bible. Kirsch examines a selection of Bible stories that have been previously censored, mistranslated or even completely banned due to their sexual, violent or mysterious content. They address such age-old yet contemporary themes as seduction, revenge, incest, rape, murder, political assassination, inter-racial marriage and women's rights. Kirsch retells the stories in contemporary English alongside the original text, and demonstrates that their real power lies in their ability to graphically illustrate the often dark complexities of human nature. Thus he argues that people in Bible times were as vulnerable, confused and prone to weaknesses of the flesh as we are today. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR001162375
