In his introduction to this book, McConnell describes the Bible as "less a book and more a living entity in the evolving consciousness of Western man." Until recently, studies of the Bible centered on finding sources for historical knowledge, theological insights, or ethical advice, overlooking the true beauty of the words in the "book of books." This collection of six essays by noted literary critics and biblical scholars - including Harold Bloom, Hans Frei, Frank Kermode, James Robinson, Donald Foster, and Herbert Schneidau--breaks new ground by exploring the Bible as poetry, rhetoric, and narrative. The authors treat such issues involved in biblical narrative as its genesis, its revisionist dynamic, its fictional character, its interpretive nature, and its contradictions, prejudices, and claims. McConnell's lively, readable introduction elucidates and unifies the book's themes.

This volume brings together 28 of John Lee's most significant articles and book chapters published from 1969 to 2020. The papers are unified by a focus on ancient Greek language across a range of texts and dates. Many of the essays relate to the Septuagint, while the New Testament is the subject of others. Surveys of the state of Greek lexicography, reviews of lexicons, and lexicographical studies feature strongly. Some essays cover topics such as the Atticist Grammarians; one takes a ground-breaking sociolinguistic approach to Mark's Gospel; and one discovers an early appearance of Greek monotonic accentuation in the first edition of the Greek New Testament.
