Contributions range from Saadia Gaon's tenth-century Arabic translation of the Pentateuch to Martin Scorsese's 1988 film adaptation of The Last Temptation of Christ; from the biblically inspired writings of a late seventeenth-century French galley slave to Paul Ricouer's reading of The Song of Songs; and from the deep biblical culture of fifth-century Rome to the divisions that biblical verses perpetuated in late twentieth-century Ulster.
