The Renaissance Bible by Debora Kuller Shuger

Not confined to a history of exegesis, this book is a study of Renaissance culture - a culture whose central text was the Bible. It explores, among other topics, the links between late medieval Christology and early modern subjectivity; religious eroticism and the origins of the sexualized body; the transformation of humanist philology into comparative religion; and the representation of daughter-sacrifice and female erotic desire.
Debora Kuller Shuger is Professor of English at the University of California, Los Angeles. She is the author of Habits of Thought in the English Renaissance: Religion, Politics, and the Dominant Culture (California, 1990).
