Many readers are unfamiliar with biblical characters like Moses or the Good Samaritan, so they miss out when writers mention them in their work. This book gives you a selection of stories and main characters found in the Bible, so you can explore biblical references in literature without reading the entire Bible.
It is important to know biblical stories in order to understand secular literature. The more familiar you are with these ancient stories, the more you will enjoy reading classic and modern literature.
The goal of this book is to present a selection of biblical stories that are referenced in art and literature from the Sistine Chapel to The Old Man and the Sea. The goal is not to persuade or dissuade secular readers into accepting or rejecting Christianity. The goal of the book is to enhance your appreciation of what you read and to deepen the insight that can be found as you analyze literature.
This book is perfect for high school and college English teachers. It includes stories from the Old Testament and parables of Jesus for students to read and internalize.
Sacred Keys was created for fiction writers, language teachers and avid readers who want to better understand and appreciate great works of literature.
