Böcker av Hugh S. Pyper

Explores a number of instances of unexpected but influential readings of the Bible in popular culture, literature, film, music and politics. This title argues that the effects of the Bible continues to have an effect on contemporary culture in ways that may surprise and sometimes dismay both religious and secular groups.

A central tenet of the book is that Kierkegaard's most original thought arises from his struggle with biblical passages that he found puzzling or offensive. The seminal psychology of belief and doubt in his work is born out of his attempt to comprehend the exceptional experiences of biblical characters.
