Jacobs45edf76073fc8204ba5adec5870047f3453dfd28My contention throughout this project is that the set of novels I call Gospel Thrillers refract, amplify, and contain broader fears and hopes about the Bible percolating throughout various corners of U.S. culture. In this section of the site I look a bit more closely at some of those corners, from broad swathes of U.S. society to the more arcane corners of the academic study of the Bible.
