"Clearly organized and gracefully written essays. . . offer learned
and thoughtful insights into texts and their times. . . . Together
they yield a colorful kaleidoscope of shifting attitudes toward
religion and of the cultural reception and popular utilizations of
the Bible in early modern Europe."—Theodore Ziolkowski, Journal of
Religion
