Bible Reception Again

[Alexander Kulik]

Dear colleagues,

I am very grateful for the responses to my question on the reception of 
the Bible in Russia. However, I am afraid, I was not clear enough. I did 
not mean the history of the Bible translations and publishing, but rather 
its reception as reflected in modern (18th-20th cent.) literature, 
painting, music, etc. Did anyone try to accumulate representation of 
biblical images and motifs in these arts and to trace the origins of these 
images, etc., i.e., what goes back to the Russian Church traditions, what 
to Western mediators, etc. I know only the recent Kievan anthology on the 
Bible in Russian poetry. Is there anything else (studies, collections)? I 
will be gratefull for any hint.

Best,
