Yet these now-revered Shakespearean truths were not created in a vacuum, and though Shakespeare was a product of the Renaissance, the England in which he lived was heavily influenced by Judeo-Christian thought.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eJudeo-Christian Thought in Shakespeares Plays\u003c\/em\u003e, author Thomas Arthur Bunger explores the continuing thread of Judeo-Christian thought that can be traced through the playwrights work. He offers an in-depth look at ten of Shakespeares plays as they relate to morality in the King James Bible, with \u003cem\u003eHamlet, Macbeth, Othello, King Lear, The Merchant of Venice, Henry V, Richard III, The Tempest, Julius Caesar, \u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eRomeo and Juliet\u003c\/em\u003e forming the basis for finding this thread.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShakespeare is not just a treasure of Western civilization; he is a treasure for the whole world, and his characters and their motives speak to humanity in general. There must, therefore, be something more to his insights than simply Western thought, and perhaps the inherent truth of living the godly life is what draws so many, everywhere, to Shakespeare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Arthur Bunger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1480857440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781480857445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Archway Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Thomas Arthur Bunger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48485324325119,"sku":"9781480857445","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df36e4eb-6356-4306-8610-a56a486efa72.jpg?v=1778049145","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/judeo-christian-thought-in-shakespeares-plays-thomas-arthur-bunger-9781480857445","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
