Ebook: The Nowhere Bible: Utopia, Dystopia, Science Fiction

This volume explores a biblical text as utopia - a "no-place". It includes reception historical case studies that focus on the biblical passage numbers 13. In numbers 13 a place is described which has the singular capacity to reflect the fears and hopes of those who encounter it: Believers hope to find a promised land in reality; scholars hope to find a place on a map; a science fiction reader fears that we have to do with a potentially destructive alien message.
