Summary

In this text Vincent Wimbush seeks to problematize what we call 'scriptures,' a word first used to refer simply to 'things written,' the registration of basic information. In the modern world the word came to be associated almost exclusively with the centre- and power-defining 'sacred' texts of 'world religions.' Wimbush argues that this narrowing of the valence of the term was a decisive development for western culture
