Shuger published a groundbreaking study titled \"The Renaissance Bible: Scholarship, Sacrifice, and Subjectivity.\" This book offers a comprehensive and intellectually ambitious exploration of the profound interconnectedness of literature and theology during the Renaissance period. Shuger challenges prevailing assumptions about religion and its scope by expanding the archive of religious writing beyond the traditional realm of devotional poetry and prose, which had long dominated literary history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShuger skillfully traces the intricate connections between biblical scholarship and the histories of politics, nations, peoples, languages, and law, as well as to the most significant literary forms of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance: tragedy (both ancient and modern), mythology, and the genres of affective devotion that portray Christ's immeasurable suffering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough \"The Renaissance Bible,\" Shuger reveals how early modern readers made sense of the worlds of Scripture, rendering them both intelligible and palpable. She also explores how they situated themselves and their endeavors within a shared history that drew upon classical and biblical antecedents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essays collected in this volume showcase the extraordinary powers and resources of \"The Renaissance Bible,\" with contributions from renowned scholars of early modernity: Anthony Grafton, Brian Cummings, Russ Leo, Beth Quitslund, and Achsah Guibbory.
