A History of the Bible as Literature: Volume 2, From 1700 to the Present Day - A History of the Bible as Literature
David Norton
This 1993 volume traces how opinions of the King James Bible changed from the eighteenth-century view that it had 'all the disadvantages of an old prose translation' to nineteenth-century praise for 'the noblest monument of English prose'. It also shows how literary criticism has shaped understanding of the Bible and how the Bible has shaped literary criticism.
