This book explores the prophetic characteristics of literature,
particularly poetry, that seek to reimagine the world in which it
is written. Using theological and philosophical insights it charts
the relentless impulse of literature to propose alternative
visions, practicable or utopian, and point toward possibilities of
renewal and change. Drawing from each of the three main Abrahamic
religions, as well as Greek and Latin classics, an international
group of scholars utilise a diverse range of analytical and
interpretive methods to draw out the prophetic voice in poetry.
Looking at the writings of figures like T. S. Elliot, Blake,
Wittgenstein and Isaiah, the theme of the prophetic is shown to be
of timely importance given the current state of geo-political
challenges and uncertainties and offers a much-needed critical
discussion of these broad cultural questions. This collection of
essays offers readers an insight into the constructive power of
literature. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars
working in Religion and the Arts, Religious Studies, Theology and
Aesthetics.
