For many people today, the events of Good Friday and Easter Sunday
raise more questions than solutions. Likewise, people are often
unmoved or confused by 'atonement theories' seeking to explain the
purpose of Christ's death. In this thoughtful and heartfelt book,
Alison Goodlad turns from abstract argument to poetic imagination
for illumination, finding fresh inspiration in the poems of R. S.
Thomas. With a Foreword by Lord Harries of Pentregarth, the former
Bishop of Oxford, Leaving the Reason Torn offers a compelling
exploration of the foundational mysteries of the Christian faith,
made real again through the searching words of one of Britain's
(specifically Wales') greatest poets. The author brings poetry and
theology into synthesis, showing how the depths of the biblical
witness can be rediscovered through human questioning and
experience. Alison Goodlad is a new voice in the overlapping areas
of poetry and religious exploration, but one whose work has already
been commended by Archbishop Rowan Williams and by biblical scholar
Walter Brueggemann, among others. She lives in Exeter.
