Wish you had time to re-read and enjoy that daunting stack of
Charles Dickens novels? Take heart: Dickens enthusiast Gina
Dalfonzo has done the heavy lifting for you. In short, readable
excerpts she presents the essence of the great novelist's
prodigious output, teasing out dozens of the most memorable scenes
to reveal the Christian vision and values that suffuse all his
work. Dickens can certainly entertain, but his legacy endures
because of his power to stir consciences with the humanity of his
characters and their predicaments. While he could be ruthless in
his characterization of greed, injustice, and religious hypocrisy,
again and again the hope of redemption shines through. In spite of
- or perhaps because of - his own failings, Dickens never stopped
exploring the themes of sin, guilt, repentance, redemption, and
restoration found in the gospel. In some passages the Christian
elements are explicit, in others implicit, but, as Dickens himself
said, they all reflect his understanding of and reverence for the
gospel. The Gospel in Dickens includes selections from Oliver
Twist, David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations,
A Christmas Carol, Nicholas Nickleby, The Old Curiosity Shop,
Martin Chuzzlewit, Dombey and Son, Bleak House, Hard Times, Little
Dorrit, Our Mutual Friend, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, and Sketches
by Boz - with a cast of unforgettable characters such as Ebenezer
Scrooge, Sydney Carton, Jenny Wren, Fagin, Pip, Joe Gargery, Mr.
Bumble, Miss Havisham, betsey Trotwood, and Madame Defarge.
