A recent survey has found that sales of non-fiction books has declined in recent years. But religious texts have bucked the trend. Sales of the Holy Bible have increased by 87% between 2019-24, with a particular growth in interest amongst Gen Z.

How has this text shaped the literary and cultural landscape across history? Why are new audiences drawn to an ancient text? And how does approaching the text as a collection of wide-ranging literary genres impact its consumption and interpretation?
