The Accessorized Bible

Yale University Press - 2026 - 240 pages

The recent rise in Christian nationalism and religious violence demand new approaches to scriptural interpretation that are rooted in nonviolence and moral seriousness. In The Accessorized Bible, David Dault explores the ethical implications of how we use scripture as an accessory, whether as an accessory to our fashion choices or as an accessory to our crimes and violence against one another.
