“The Bible…is a locked treasure for those unfamiliar with the Scriptures….Beal offers a key with his accessible guide.” — Cleveland Plain Dealer “With skill and insight, Timothy Beal has given us a great gift: a lucid and engaging introduction to the most important book ever published.” —Jon Meacham, author of American Lion , winner of the Pulitzer Prize In the tradition of Stephen Prothero’s Religious Literacy , and with the deftness of Bill Bryson’s Mother Tongue , Timothy Beal’s Biblical Literacy is a one-stop course in the Bible passages and background information that everyone needs to know to navigate our nuanced cultural landscape—from devout believers to decided atheists, average citizens to pop-culture aficionados. Like Religion in America , Religion and its Monsters , and other of his highly acclaimed books, Beal’s Biblical Literacy is a must-have handbook for understanding today’s world.
