Religious conviction constitutes one of the most powerful forces shaping our global present and future. Given the increasingly pluralistic cast of American letters as well as declining biblical literacy in American culture, it is telling that many contemporary authors have not simply rejected the Bible as a reactionary and oppressive relic. Instead, as Norman Jones demonstrates in his rigorous new study of the works of William Faulkner, many provincialize the Bible as a means of reevaluating and revalorizing its significance in contemporary American culture.
