Drawing on cutting-edge work in biblical studies and ethics, David Dault explores how bibles shape and are shaped by contemporary culture The recent rise in Christian nationalism and religious violence demands new approaches to scriptural interpretation that are rooted in nonviolence and moral seriousness. In The Accessorized Bible, David Dault explores the ethical implications of how we use scripture as an accessory, whether as an accessory to our fashion choices or as an accessory to our crimes and violence against one another. Drawing on recent ideas in biblical interpretation—including Scriptural Reasoning, Iconic Books, and Cultural Materialism—David Dault weaves a rich and inviting tapestry of approaches to understanding the irreducible connection between bibles and cultural production. Along the way, Dault challenges readers to think deeply and clearly about their roles as bystanders, participants, and accessories to the acts and decisions we undertake in the Bible’s name. In the end, The Accessorized Bible asks us to rethink our ways of reading, our institutions, and even love itself in light of the presence of the vulnerable and the cast-aside among us.

The Christian church in America stands at a crossroads. It can continue to follow the path of incarceration, or it can choose the path of abolition and liberation. For too long, the church has been a site of violence and exclusion, despite its language of love and redemption. David Dault offers a timely and provocative analysis of an unspoken crisis affecting all forms of Christianity, particularly in the American context. In the wake of rampant sex abuse and a leadership increasingly wedded to the interests of right-wing and reactionary politics, the rise of covert mechanisms of authority and decision making threaten to undermine what little trust remains in the leadership. The Covert Magisterium offers a fresh analysis of theological identities, hinging on the choice between a Christianity that defines itself through forms of incarceration, and a Christianity that sets itself on the path of abolition, inviting believers to become (in the words of the late Pope Francis) “the dignified agents of their own destiny.” The book concludes with a vision of the synodal magisterium, a process of decision-making in which everyone, especially the “least of these,” has a voice.
