CORE 003 SC - Biblical Fictions and the Religious Imagination
Since antiquity, Jews and Christians have rewritten biblical narratives, creating new media out of the Bible. By exploring these biblical fictions across three genres—drama, fiction, and film—we ask how religious identity is rearticulated out of a static textual canon. How do such biblical fictions engage with and subvert the limits of human personhood in the realm of religion? How have people, from antiquity to the present, from Africa to North America, used the Bible to reimagine their own social worlds, and how is the Bible itself reshaped in these acts of imagination?
