Combining thematic analysis and stimulating close readings, 'The
Collar' is a wide-ranging study of the many ways - heroic or comic,
shrewd or dastardly - in which Christian clergy have been
represented in literature, from George Herbert and Laurence Sterne,
via Anthony Trollope, G.K. Chesterton, T.S. Eliot, and Graham
Greene, to Susan Howatch and Robertson Davies, and in film and
television, such as 'Pale Rider', 'The Thorn Birds', 'The Vicar of
Dibley', and 'Father Ted'. Since all Christians are expected to be
involved in ministry of some type, the assumptions of secular
culture about ministers affect more than just clergy. Ranging
across several nations (particularly Britain, the U.S., and
Canada), denominations, and centuries, 'The Collar' encourages
creative and faithful responses to the challenges of Christian
leadership and develops awareness of the times when leadership
expectations become too extreme.Using the framework of different
media to make inquiries about pastoral passion, frustration, and
fallibility, Sue Sorensen's well-informed, sprightly, and
perceptive book will be helpful to anyone who enjoys evocative
literature and film as well as to clergy and those interested in
practical theology.
