"The Eyes of Your Heart"

Arts & Literature

“Argued with intellectual rigor, this book reappropriates the possibilities of the biblical imagination for the Christian tradition. Focusing on authors who were committed to the view that their Christian belief undergirded the intellectual and emotional dimensions of their imaginative worlds, this book reclaims imagination from the world of aesthetics and wordplay to which much recent literary criticism has confined it.”

George MacDonald in the Age of Miracles

History & Biography

“These lectures are steeped in a scholarly acquaintance with George MacDonald's writings. Their accessible style aims at bringing MacDonald's theological insights on such ever-pressing matters as religious doubt and the purpose of human suffering to a wider Christian audience.”

Resisting the Marriage Plot

Arts & Literature

“Dalene Fisher offers a thoughtful challenge to a strain of feminist criticism that has seen Christianity as necessarily an oppressive force in early nineteenth-century women's lives. In lucid and accessible terms, she argues instead that it was their Christian faith that encouraged four famous female novelists to challenge the traditional marriage plot and women's role within it.”
