John Donne discussed as an original religious thinker, drawing on
his extant sermons for evidence of his personal theology. John
Donne is here treated as an original religious thinker; the
evidence for the distinguishing features of his theology is drawn
primarily from his extant sermons studied in context, beginning
with an exploration of what is forDonne the fundamental belief for
regulating Christian faith and practice, the doctrine of the
Trinity. Building on this theological groundwork, Johnson goes on
to examine such topics as Donne's understanding of common prayer;
thepre-eminence of sight and spectacle, in terms of religious
self-fashioning and the iconoclastic controversy; the doctrine of
repentance, in conjunction with Donne's own sense of clerical
calling; and the doctrine of grace, including Donne's views
regarding the controversy over the Lord's Supper. JEFFREY JOHNSON
is Professor of English at Northern Illinois University.
