The Biblical World in Go Down, Moses (Location)

During his attempt to explain to Roth why he is renouncing the McCaslin inheritance in Section 4 of "The Bear," Ike refers several times to the Bible, which Ike calls "the Book" (243), and what "He told" in that text. Some of his phrasings bring that scriptural landscape into physical focus, for example "how He created the earth, made it and looked at it and said it was all right" (243).
