Setting the stage : what is subversive scripture? -- A funny things happened on the road to Damascus : piety and subversion in Johnny Cash's Man in white / Jay Twomey -- Refuse, realism, retelling : literal andliterary reconstructions of Noah's ark / Lesleigh Cushing Stahlberg -- Between speech and silence -- Face to face : biblical traces in the philosophy of Elie Wiesel / John K.

David Hall -- Subversion as return : Scripture, dissent, and renewal, and the future of Judaism / Shaul Magid.

Focusing on writers who approach the Bible as a source that is both instructive and dangerous, Subverting Scriptures seeks to provide an academic analysis of cultural biblical saturation at a time when measuredvoices are necessary to counterbalance politically motivated religiousrhetoric. Using as its point of departure the current political landscape - where the Bible is drawn on freely and unabashedly without critical reflection to legitimate and justify all manner of agendas - the contributors in this collection engage the Bible in new, imaginative, and critical ways, in the hopes ofcreating a new space for dialogue.
