Books by Timothy Beal

In this unusual and provocative book, Timothy K. Beal writes about the monsters that lurk in our religious texts, and about how monsters and religion are deeply entwined. Horror and faith are inextricable.

Every person needs to know the core Bible stories - those stories that have cultural, historical, or literary significance - that lie at the foundation of Western civilisation. This title argues that without knowing these core stories, we cannot fully participate in the popular, political, and especially spiritual worlds that surround us.
