A while back I came across the Canongate series of Pocket Canons (see Greenflame · Nick Cave on the Gospel of Mark). I like the series, and now I’ve found that all the introductory pieces written for the different biblical books in that series have been collected into a single volume – “Revelations: Personal Responses To The Books Of The Bible†introduced by Richard Holloway.
I’ve borrowed the book from the university library in order to look at Bono’s piece on the Psalams for a course I’m preparing, but I’ve found that I’m dipping into it every now and then to read another person’s reflection on a biblical book. Some really interesting responses to, not only the content of the biblical material, but also the context it has been encountered in.
