In this book 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 center- 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.
