Though "Moby-Dick" is one of the most-discussed and most-read works of American literature, the influence of the Bible has been overlooked in many contemporary studies of the novel. This book illuminates Melville's abiding preoccupation with the problem of evil and the pervasive role of the Bible in shaping his iconic work.
