  Reaction to the Pocket Canons came in Biblical proportions. The simplicity of the idea, the quality of the introductions and the appeal of the format and design made the series an international success. Collected together for the first time this anthology features a wonderfully diverse group of writers, each of whom provides considered, personal and sometimes controversial responses to individual books of the Bible: be it Bono on Psalms, A. S. Byatt on the Song of Solomon, Louis de Bernieres on Job or the Dalai Lama on the Epistles. This edition also contains a number of pieces never previously published in Britain, including the Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago, Charles Frazier, EL Doctorow and Thor Heyerdal.
