THE GREAT GOOD BOOK: The Bible and the Roots of Western Literature (Barnes & Noble Portable Professor) by Adam Potkay (2004-05-03). This one had good information in the book, but the professor was too folksy for my taste. I felt about 30% of the time could have been cut from the lectures, or that the 30% would have been better utilized by including more of the content in the book. I will say, however, that for a general introduction and orientation to the foundations of Western thought, this course is adequate. It is satisfactory for those of us who will take the time to peruse the book.

Narrated by Adam Potkay . The Bible is renowned as a rich source of myth and parable, prose and poetry. Indeed, much of Western Literature owes an enormous debt to the unique and widely varied writings in this important religious text.

Monica Brezinski Potkay, narrated by Adam Potkay. The goal of this audio course is to provide listeners with a literary and historical overview of the Bible, from its opening in Genesis to its ending in the Book of Revelation, and also with a sense of some of the ways in which the Bible has influenced the literary traditions of the West. We'll be exploring key scenes, stories, forms, and books of the Bible through the methods of literary and cultural analysis. We'll be asking questions such as: what, in literary terms, might a Biblical story mean? How does its form and style contribute to its meaning?
