Résumé

This unique edition offers an exciting new approach to the most influential of all English biblical texts-the Authorized King James Version, complete with the Apocrypha. Its wide-ranging Introduction and the substantial notes to each book of the Bible guide the reader through the labyrinth of literary, textual, and theological issues, using the most up-to-date scholarship to demonstrate how and why the Bible has affected the literature, art, and general culture of the English speaking world.
Robert Carroll was Professor of Hebrew Bible and Semitic Studies at the University of Glasgow. Among his many publications are When Prophecy Failed (1979), From Chaos to Covenant (1981), Jeremiah: A Commentary (1986), and Wolf in the Sheepfold (1991). Stephen Prickett is Margaret Root Brown Professor of Victorian Studies and Director of the Armstrong-Browning Library at Baylor University, Waco, Texas.
Previous appointments include the Chair of English Literature at the University of Glasgow, the Chair of English at the Australian National University in Canberra, and teaching posts at the Universities of Sussex, Minnesota, and Smith College, Massachussetts. His other books on literature and theology include Romanticism and Religion: The Tradition of the World: Language, Poetics and Biblical Interpretation (1986), (ed.), Reading the Text: Biblical Criticism and Literary Theory (1991), and Origins of Narrative: The Romantic Appropriation of the Bible (1996).
