The aim of the book is to show how the Bible is relevant for the study of our contemporary society, even if we collectively self-identify as secular. In modern books, films, games, rituals, paintings, and the like, biblical imagery and phrasing is not only traceable, but immanent in understanding our present-day cultural and spiritual status quo. This volume aims at mapping numerous examples of these intertextual relationships between, at the one hand, biblical texts from Old and New Testament and, at the other, cultural expressions in the 20th and 21st centuries. What makes this volume unique among its competition is its focus on the communication aspects of these intertextualities, differentiating between and combining synchronic and diachronic analyses, as well as hermeneutical and historical perspectives. The three editors of the volume are all individually and collectively specialized in communication-oriented analysis of (biblical and other) texts, intertextuality between Bible and culture, and the cultural persistence of the biblical imagery in our contemporary culture. The individual authors of the volume are too, in their own respect, experts on various aspects of these intertextualities.
