Text, Image, and Otherness in Children's Bibles
Author: Caroline Vander Stichele
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789004230743
Category : Bible
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Children's Bibles are often the first encounter people have with the Bible, shaping their perceptions of its stories and characters at an early age. The material under discussion in this book not only includes traditional children's Bibles but also more recent phenomena such as manga Bibles and animated films for children. The book highlights the complex and even tense relationship between text and image in these Bibles, which is discussed from different angles in the essays. Their shared focus is on the representation of 'others' foreigners, enemies, women, even children themselves in predominantly Hebrew Bible stories. The contributors are Tim Beal, Ruth B. Bottigheimer, Melody Briggs, Rubn R. Dupertuis, Emma England, J. Cheryl Exum, Danna Nolan Fewell, David M. Gunn, Laurel Koepf, Archie Chi Chung Lee, Jeremy Punt, Hugh S. Pyper, Cynthia M. Rogers, Mark Roncace, Susanne Scholz, Jaqueline S. du Toit, and Caroline Vander Stichele" -- Publisher description.

Retelling Stories, Framing Culture
Author: John Stephens
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113660149X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
What happens to traditional stories when they are retold in another time and cultural context and for a different audience? This first-of-its-kind study discusses Bible stories, classical myths, heroic legends, Arthurian romances, Robin Hood lore, folk tales, 'oriental' tales, and other stories derived from European cultures. One chapter is devoted to various retellings of classics, from Shakespeare to "Wind in the Willows." The authors offer a general theory of what motivates the retelling of stories, and how stories express the aspirations of a society. An important function of stories is to introduce children to a cultural heritage, and to transmit a body of shared allusions and experiences that expresses a society's central values and assumptions. However, the cultural heritage may be modified through a pervasive tendency of retellings to produce socially conservative outcomes because of ethnocentric, androcentric and class-based assumptions in the source stories that persist into retellings. Therefore, some stories, such as classical myths, are particularly resistant to feminist reinterpretations, for example, while other types, such as folktales, are more malleable. In examining such possibilities, the book evaluates the processes of interpretation apparent in retellings. Index included.

Boat Full of Animals
Author: Jennifer Rees-Larcombe
Publisher: Best Bible Stories
ISBN: 9780551032279
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The story of Noah, his boat and all the noisy animals, retold by Jennifer Rees Larcombe and illustrated by Steve Bjorkman for the BEST BIBLE STORIES SERIES. The whole world was in a mess. People didn't love God, hated one another and spent their lives killing and stealing. Noah and his family were the only good ones. So God instructed Noah to build a huge boat, with enough room for his family and some of every kind of animal. People laughed at Noah when he started building his boat miles from the sea and then tried to push all the animals up the gangplank. But then it began to rain. The streams swelled and the tide rose so high that huge waves swept inland, and all the people, trees, hills and mountains were covered - all except Noah's boat. Noah and his family had to live with all that barking, mooing, roaring and croaking for months. Finally, as the flood started to go down, the boat got stuck on top of a mountain. It took weeks for the wind and sun to dry up all the oozy, black mud. But when the plants began to grown again, Noah opened up the boat and let the creatures run, hop and wriggle away to freedom. With the sign of a rainbow, God promised he would never drown the world again.
