- A history not of the events in the Bible but of the book itself — how the texts were written and gathered, how they were copied, translated, printed, illustrated and read across two millennia, and what has been made of them by Jews and Christians in turn. Paginated xvi + 395 with sixteen pages of plates, and a bibliography running from page 371. Rogerson also edited the Oxford Handbook of Biblical Studies. The jacket sets Michelangelo's Creation against black marble.
