Download Holy Shakespeare!: 101 Scriptures That Appear in Shakespeare's Plays, Poems, and Sonnets AudioBook Free
One hundred and one lines or passages from William Shakespeare's works matched with Scripture passages that appear in the bard's classics. To become published just in time for the Shakespeare 400th festivities. Shakespeare was closely inspired by Holy Writ. Bible lines, heroes, and narratives are "verbal heroes" in his works, poems, and sonnets, sometimes subtly and sometimes blatantly. But they are there, revealing the profound scriptural well that was the culture that Shakespeare drew and reminding us of views and reports in the Bible. Shakespeare recognized the Bible - as do everyone during that time. He used Scripture easily in what he wrote because through such biblical allusions, followers would immediately grasp his meanings, characterizations, and unfolding situations. His works - designed to be performed - offered Scripture life. The Bible had not been mere words in Shakespeare's work but, like all of Scripture, was used for reproof, instructions, conviction, and training. Listening to Shakespeare with an hearing that's available to whispers from God's term can kindle interest for both his great literary works and the best book of most, Holy Scripture.
