The Harcourt Anthology of Drama by W B Worthen

The Harcourt Anthology of Drama by W B Worthen

The Bible is the most important book in the history of Western civilization, and also the most difficult to interpret. It has been the vehicle of continual conflict, with every interpretation reflecting passionately held views that have affected not merely religion, but politics, art, and even science.
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.
The Bible: Authorized King James Version also includes the latest biblical research, evaluated and put into context as well as discussing centuries of critical opinion. A non-sectarian, historical approach makes it suitable for a wide range of readers. A Glossary of terms used in the Notes and six maps of the Holy Land further illuminate the meaning of this most culturally influential version of the Bible.

William B. Worthen served as director of Historic Arkansas Museum for more than 40 years. During his lengthy tenure, he oversaw the restoration, reconstruction, and interpretation of significant historic buildings on HAM's campus. He has also published numerous articles and books on the subject of Arkansas history, including the two-volume study of Arkansas's creative legacy, Arkansas Made, a project he co-wrote with current HAM director, Swannee Bennett. Over the course of his career at the museum, Worthen focused his research on the history of knives and knife making. His exhaustive research on Washington, Arkansas's James Black brought that early bowie knife maker back into the spotlight after decades of popular skepticism.

Mark Zalesky's knowledge of knives and related items is widely recognized. He has penned hundreds of articles about knives and has served as an appraiser, museum consultant, and is a director of the Antique Bowie Knife Association. Further, he is the editor and publisher of KNIFE Magazine, a monthly publication with which he has had a longtime association.
