A Theology of Literature

Theology

“This is a brilliant new book by one of the world’s most accomplished scholars in the area of literature and theology. Offering a lucid and compelling account of the nature of revelation, Franke reads a range of biblical texts in ways that are simultaneously thought provoking, illuminating, readable, and constructive. A Theology of Literature is a wonderful achievement, and certainly worth reading.”

The Future of the Word

“This wonderful book should be read by anyone interested in the relationship between religion and literature. It provides a compelling account of how literary texts and our reading of them can be understood eschatologically, and it offers an extremely rich and sensitive exploration of the theological ethics of reading. Tiffany Eberle Kriner writes clearly and is a theoretically and theologically astute guide. Her willingness to take on difficult questions and challenging texts is admirable, as is the attentive and discerning way in which she interprets a wide range of material from the literary and theological traditions.”

The Roots of the World

Philosophy

“In this erudite and insightful study, Duncan Reyburn explores the philosophical roots of G. K. Chesterton’s prescience. One does not have to agree with everything that Chesterton wrote to benefit enormously from reading him, and Reyburn does an excellent job of helping us understand why this is so.”
