Michael Peppard: How Catholics Encounter the Bible, Gebunden

Klappentext

In How Catholics Encounter the Bible, award-winning biblical scholar and historian Michael Peppard explores the paradoxical role of the Bible for Catholics--a book central to their tradition, but one which Catholics rarely read. Instead, as Peppard shows, biblical ideas influence Catholics through diverse modes of storytelling, artistic imagination, and ritual. Through examples of pilgrimage, visual arts, poetry, music, and even on Netflix, Peppard shows how the Bible thrives among Catholics, even if its printed text may be missing.
