\ Children's Literature - Carlee Hallman\ The editor introduces this collection of interpretive and critical essays of Biblical texts and at the end gives a gloomy "Afterthought." Well-known contributors such as Martin Buber and D. H. Lawrence, along with others, are listed with their academic achievements. Erich Auerbach shows the difference in style between Homer and narratives of the Old Testament. Frank Kermode contrasts the use of James Joyce's elusive character "The Man in the Macintosh" with "The Boy in the Shirt" found in Mark 14:51-52. A long chronology begins with creation and ends with the dates of various Biblical translations. A bibliography, acknowledgments, and an index are included. This collection of critical essays with its esoteric vocabulary may attract college and graduate students interested in the subject. Part of the "Bloom's Modern Critical Views" series.\ \
