Know about the book -

Scripturalectics is written by Vincent L. Wimbush and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0190670282 (ISBN 10) and 9780190670283 (ISBN 13).

In this book Vincent Wimbush seeks to problematize what we call "scriptures," a word first used to refer simply to "things written," the registration of basic information. In the modern world the word came to be associated almost exclusively with the center- and power-defining "sacred" texts of "world religions." Wimbush argues that this narrowing of the valence of the term was a decisive development for western culture.
