Supporting the theory that there is no singular ''Bible'', and the idea that biblical literacy is demonstrated in a multitude of ways beyond confessional interpretations of biblical texts, the contributors of this volume explore how multiple ''Bibles'' coexist simultaneously in popular cultures. By interrogating popular television, music, and film, biblical retellings are identified which
variously perpetuate, challenge or subvert biblical narratives and motifs.

The topics discussed are gathered around three themes: depictions of sex and gender, troubling representations, and subversions of biblical authority. This volume offers new studies on retellings of biblical texts which seek to interrogate, perpetuate and challenge dominant cultural ideas of who can interpret biblical texts, what forms this might take, and the influence of biblical interpretations in our societies.
