• Title: ALL THE MEN OF THE BIBLE - A Portrait Gallery and Reference Library of More Than 3000 Biblical Characters .

• More troublesome are the cartoons’ historical inaccuracies and inappropriate embellishments; the fact that the "heroes" have largely been robbed of their multidimensional biblical personalities; the way subplots overshadow the main story; the preponderance of images (including graphic violence) , words and ideas that are ill-suited for children; and the abysmal corruption of the stories’ theological significance.
• For example, in The Nativity, when the viewer ought to be expectantly awaiting Jesus’ birth, an extended non-biblical espionage sequence involving two harsh Roman guards who are sent by Herod to follow the wise men takes center stage. ...
• Derek, Margo and Mold are the most memorable actors in the series, partly because they appear in every story and partly because their characters are more developed. ... And, as is the case with characters in Samson and Delilah who help Derek build a hang glider, the adult characters at times treat the modern young visitors as though they have superior knowledge. ...
• In contrast to the three Americans, the biblical characters are reduced to caricatures that represent one quality -- good or evil, right or wrong. ...
• Such portrayals lead to a flawed interpretation of the biblical stories. ... In Samson and Delilah, Samson is the biblical version of the Incredible Hulk, a huge, friendly giant who is nevertheless tough and, in his case, a bit arrogant. ... The biblical interpretation of Samson’s strength as a gift from God, which, although associated with the Nazarite vow, had virtually no relationship to any ethical quality of his own, is not adequately explained either. ...
• The producers defend the violence on the grounds that it is part of the biblical portrayal. ... For example, all the films show close-ups of the wicked characters snarling or making threatening gestures. ...
• While Hanna-Barbera added some details, the cartoons omit others that are key to understanding the biblical narrative. Why show scenes that young children cannot comprehend, such as the debauchery in Daniel and the Lion’s Den where people are lying around on sofas drinking and spilling their food, dancing, and laughing wickedly, and then not mention that the most heinous sin of the party was the people’s using goblets pilfered from the Jerusalem temple to make wine offerings to Belshazzar’s gods? Why suggest that Samson drank wine (not mentioned in the biblical story) before Delilah robbed him of his secret -- thus making a subtle point about the risks of alcohol use -- and not mention that this would also have been a violation of the Nazarite vow?.
• Even the advertising for the series emphasizes the characters’ heroism more than God’s help. Unlike the Bible, which is intended to be God’s story in which God works out his will despite the strengths and weaknesses of his people, this series focuses on the human characters’ power.
• Especially after repeated showings at home, the cartoons may so affect children’s biblical understanding that the film images will predominate in their perception of the biblical stories. ... In the same way, "The Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible" may overpower children’s imaginations and suppress their ability to allow the biblical text to speak to them anew as they grow older. In a sense the cartoons are like Cliff Notes: once the basic plot and characters are known in such simple form, few are likely to pursue deeper meanings. Though their producers may be well intentioned, instead of providing a generation with knowledge of the Bible, the Hanna-Barbera cartoons may be fostering the worst kind of biblical ignorance. ...

• "Why Ask My Name?" - Anonymity and Identity in Biblical Narrative .
• Adele Reinhartz, Associate Professor of Biblical Studies, McMaster University, Canada Price: £41. ...
• Anonymous characters -- such as Lot's wife, Jephthah's daughter, Pharoah's baker, and the witch of Endor -- are ubiquitous in the Hebrew Bible, and appear in a wide variety of roles. Adele Reinhartz here answers two principal questions concerning this aspect of biblical narrative. First, is there a "poetics of anonymity," and if so, what are its contours? Second, how does anonymity affect the readers' response to, and construction of, unnamed biblical characters. She is especially interested in issues related to gender, determining whether female characters are more likely to be anonymous than male characters, and whether the anonymity of female characters functions differently from that of male characters.
