Organised around important theological ideas this is a lucid,
accessible and thoughtful introduction to the study of literature
and religion. Religion has always been an integral part of the
literary tradition: many canonical and non-canonical texts engage
extensively with religious ideas and the development of English
Literature as a professional discipline began with an explicit
consideration of the relationship between religion and literature.
Both the recent theological turn of literary theory and the renewed
political significance of religious debate in contemporary western
culture have generated further interest in this interdisciplinary
area.This book offers a lucid, accessible and thoughtful
introduction to the study of religion and literature. The focus is
on Christian theology and post-1800 British literature, although
substantial reference is made to earlier writers, texts from North
America and mainland Europe, and other faith positions."An
Introduction to Religion and Literature" is organised around
important theological ideas, each of which is explored through
close readings of well-known and influential literary texts.
Throughout the book the reader is encouraged to think about the
ways in which religion and literature combine to trace and disclose
other worlds that might be seen as sacred.
