I recently read the poison wood bible and I was wondering if there were any resources that could educate me on the different interpretations of the bible brought up by the brother fowles character.
He would talk about the various translations of the Bible and how the intentions of the people translating it have probably changed the Bible’s meaning. Similarly to how snorri sturlsons adaptation of Nordic mythology gave Nordic myths a Christian influence.
If you have any suggestions I welcome them (I already watched contrapoints “twilight” video and was surprised by the amount of biblical allusions and her similar interpretation of certain bible quotes)

Hey! Highly recommend The Art of Biblical Narrative by Robert Alter (he also has one on biblical translation!)
