What does that say about our supposedly secular age? In this insightful study, Magdalena Maczynska defines and examines the genre of \u003ci\u003escriptural metafiction\u003c\/i\u003e: novels that not only transform religious texts but also draw attention to these transformations. In addition to providing rich examples and close readings, Maczynska positions literary studies within interdisciplinary debates about religion and secularity. Her book demonstrates a surprising turn of events: even as contemporary novelists deconstruct the traditional categories of \"secular+? and \"sacred+? writing, they open up new spaces for scripture in contemporary culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMagdalena Maczynska\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor at Marymount Manhattan College, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 23, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42647507992672,"sku":"9781350028449","price":121.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/eWI0MnF5QlBHYkRKSFlCMUQwK3ppQT09.webp?v=1773561057","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-gospel-according-to-the-novelist-religious-scripture-and-contemporary-fiction-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
