Reading the Abrahamic Faiths - Rethinking Religion and Literature (Hardcover)

Re-thinking religion and literature in a series of chapters by leading international scholars, "Reading the Abrahamic Faiths" opens up a four-way dialogue between Jewish, Islamic, Christian and Post-Secular literary traditions. The field of literary studies has absorbed religion as another interdisciplinary mode of inquiry without fully exploring the potential of their relationship to explore material questions of culture, politics and globalization as well as immaterial concerns such as faith, consciousness and affect. In response, "Reading the Abrahamic Faiths" addresses religion and literature from a number of global perspectives equip to reflect on the material and immaterial through contemporary theory and world politics. Each section - Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Post-Secularism - is introduced by specialist to help anchor the reader unfamiliar with these debates in the close readings of the literary texts and traditions that follow.
