In a series of accessible chapters, Lesleigh Cushing Stahlberg and Peter S. Hawkins offer close-readings of short stories by leading contemporary writers such as Flannery O'Connor, Allegra Goodman, Tobias Wolff and Kirstin Valdez Quade that highlight the biblical passages that they reference. Exploring episodes from the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament and both Jewish and Christian heritages, this book is an important contribution to understanding the influence of the Bible in contemporary literature OP - 234 CN - PS374.S5 S73 2018eb SN - 9781474237185 SN - 1474237185 SN - 9781474237178 SN - 1474237177 SN - 1350111619 SN - 9781350111615 SN - 1474237193 SN - 9781474237192 SN - 9781474237161 SN - 1474237169 KW - Bible : In literature.
