“A timely rejoinder to the often ill-informed dismissal of Christianity in current literary theory. This book demonstrates, with vigor and wide learning, the richness through the centuries of a Christian reflection on language and reading, and exposes the hermeneutical as well as the moral and spiritual shortcomings of much of the modern theoretical enterprise. One of its many strengths lies in bringing before the reader, at key moments, the huge sanity of Augustine.”
