Читать книгу A Contemporary Introduction to the Bible - Colleen M. Conway - Страница 33

At first glance, the Bible is one of the most familiar of books. Many families own a copy. Every weekend, Jews and Christians read from it at worship. There are echoes of the Bible in all kinds of music, from Handel’s Messiah to reggae and hip hop. Popular expressions, such as “Thou shalt not” or “Love thy neighbor as thyself,” come from the Bible. Movies are often filled with biblical allusions. And you can still find a copy of the Bible, or at least the New Testament and Psalms, in many hotels.
