Arts & Literature

“This is the book for which many readers of Charles Williams, Dorothy Sayers, and C. S. Lewis have been waiting, and one that richly fulfills their anticipations. With solid scholarship and yet a light touch, the author shows how interest in Dante held this trio of writers together as a network, motivating, critiquing, quoting, and promoting each other as readers of the medieval poet. With keen insight and a lively manner that belies the difficulty of the task, the author clearly demonstrates how the complex relations between Williams, Sayers, and Lewis allow the many-sidedness of Dante to emerge today—as poet, storyteller, humorist, and theologian. Always illuminating and interesting, this book is essential reading for all who value the writings of these three modern interpreters of Dante.”

When the Son of Man Didn't Come

Theology

“It is an extraordinary achievement to open fresh perspectives on a long debated historical and theological problem, as this book does. Working closely together, this interdisciplinary and ecumenical group of young scholars succeeds in showing that the delay of the final coming of Christ is entirely consistent with the way ancient prophecy works and with the operations of the God that Christians worship. From the firm basis of a historical-critical study which takes admirable account of the latest scholarship, they develop in a highly original way a series of theological issues which interact mutually with the topic. A striking chapter on method offers a model of collaborative practices of authorship for others to follow. This book is essential reading for scholars and all Christian readers who want to say, intelligibly, maranatha – Lord, come!”
