Love and Good Reasons - Postliberal Approaches to Christian Ethics and Literature (Paperback)

"Love and Good Reasons "combines postliberal narrative theology--especially Stanley Hauerwas's Christian ethics and Alasdair MacIntyre's idea of traditional inquiry--with recent scholarship in literature and ethics including the work of Martha Nussbaum, J. Hillis Miller, Wayne Booth, Jeffrey Stout, and Richard Rorty. Oehlschlaeger offers detailed readings of literature by five major authors--Herman Melville, Jane Austen, Anthony Trollope, Henry James, and Stephen Crane. He examines their works in light of biblical scripture and the grand narratives of Israel, Jesus, and the Church. Discussing the role of religion in contemporary higher education, Oehlschlaeger shares his own experiences of teaching literature from a religious perspective at a state university.
