This study offers a reading that avoids both literalism and sociological reductionism through a study of the Bible's intricate patterns of imagery. It will appeal to thoughtful people dissatisfied with the religious status quo and looking for a new intellectual starting point.

"Clasby's book should appeal to all those who wish to go beyond the present debate between debunkers of religion and the naively pious. Believer's frameworks will be enlarged; skeptics will be challenged but delighted to find even new questions for their pious friends. This book is both amazingly fresh and deeply traditional." - Joseph Cunneen, Founder and Editor of Cross Currents

"[A]n interesting work." - Peter Stiles, Sydney, Australia
