In \u003cem\u003eFictions of God\u003c\/em\u003e, Raphael Magarik argues that this story overlooks the cultural upheavals of the Protestant Reformation. Early reformers imagined a Bible that was neither infallible nor inerrant but fictional, composed by a divine counterfactual: God crafted the text, they said, as if it had been written by the prophets. Early modern Protestants now found in their Bibles not a source of foundational truths but a model for unreliable narration, even fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFictions of God\u003c\/em\u003e traces how this approach to literature passed from biblical commentators to poets like Abraham Cowley, John Milton, and Lucy Hutchinson amid the violent emergence of a new religious and political order—long before the eighteenth-century rise of the English novel. The result is a transformative account of the Reformation's effect on imaginative literature and the secularisation of the Bible itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031787159788,"sku":"9780226842233","price":100.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20650613482268.jpg?v=1764147793"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/raphael-magarik.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
