Faith and Fiction is a collection of essays which partly stems from
the 25th LAUD-Symposium on 'Metaphor and Religion' (University of
Duisburg, April 1-5, 1997). It investigates the relationship
between religious experience and the use of metaphors and thus
explores the tensions between faith and fiction. Herein, special
attention is paid to the type of situation in which the
confrontation of a community or an individual with religion is not
self-evident or even discordant. In order to address the diversity
of the problem area, the volume opts for an interdisciplinary
approach. Section I analyses 'religious metaphors' from the
viewpoint of contemporary linguistics. In section II, the
significance of metaphors in a 'meta-religious' discourse is
considered. The philosophical dialogue with religion and metaphor
is discussed in section III, and the final section submits
religious poems to a formal and interpretative examination.
