1. The Bible
A Global History
A sweeping cultural history of scripture that traces how diverse Jewish and Christian communities produced, compiled, translated, and interpreted sacred texts from the ancient Near East to the present. It examines canon formation, manuscript and print revolutions, Reformation controversies, colonial and global dissemination, and the rise of modern criticism, showing how changing readers, institutions, and technologies continually reshaped meaning and authority. Along the way, it highlights the enduring impact of these texts on worship, politics, art, and daily life, revealing a living, contested tradition rather than a single, fixed book.
