It preoccupied the scholarship of the era, and suffused the idioms of literature and speech. Political ideas rode on its interpretation and deployed its terms. It was intricately related to the project of natural\u003cbr\u003ephilosophy. And it was central to daily life at all levels of society from parliamentarian to preacher, from the 'boy that driveth the plough', famously invoked by Tyndale, to women across the social scale. It circulated in texts ranging from elaborate folios to cheap catechisms; it was mediated in\u003cbr\u003enumerous forms, as pictures, songs, and embroideries, and as proverbs, commonplaces, and quotations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing together leading scholars from a range of fields, \u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of the Bible in Early Modern England, 1530-1700\u003c\/em\u003e explores how the scriptures served as a generative motor for ideas, and a resource for creative and political thought, as well as for domestic and devotional life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSections tackle the knotty issues of translation, the rich range of early modern biblical scholarship, Bible dissemination and circulation, the changing political uses of the Bible, literary appropriations and responses, and the reception of the text across a range of contexts and media.
