Who's reading
4:5 portrait of John Higgins
Welcome back to the Bible is Art, where we explore the literary artistry of the Bible.
I read the Bible the way a critic reads literature: metaphor, symbolism, narrative structure, chiasm, character, repetition. Each episode is a close look at one text, and at how the Bible has shaped art, literature, music and culture.
You don't have to share my beliefs to get something out of it. Understanding the Bible as art deepens the reading either way.
