Sacred and Secular Scriptures

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of theology and literature, the book examines the Bible as both a sacred text and a vibrant historical narrative. Boyle argues for the collaboration of biblical scholarship and literary criticism, addressing the integration of divine truth with modern secular culture. Through two series of essays, he analyzes various thinkers who view the Bible as literature and proposes a Catholic approach to reading secular works. The discussions encompass a diverse array of influential writers, offering profound insights into the relationship between faith and literature.
