When the Eternal Can Be Met excavates the philosophy behind the
theology of the twentieth century's most prominent Christian
writers: C.S. Lewis, T.S. Eliot, and W.H. Auden. These three
literary giants converted to Christianity within little more than a
decade of one another, and interestingly, all three theological
authors turned to the theme of time. All three authors also came to
remarkably similar conclusions about time, positing that the
temporal present moment allowed one to meet the eternal. The
prominent philosopher Henri Bergson wrote about time's power to
transform an individual's emotional and spiritual state decades
before Lewis, Eliot, and Auden sought to creatively construct a
fictive or poetic theology of time. When the Eternal Can Be Met
argues that one cannot fully understand Lewis, Eliot, and Auden's
theology of time without understanding Bergson's theories. From the
secular philosophy of Bergson dawned the most important works of
literary theology and treatments of time of the twentieth century,
and in the Bergson-influenced literary constructs of Lewis, Eliot,
and Auden, a common theological articulation sounds out - time
present is where humans meet God.

Functioning Fantasies explores the functionality as well as the
ideological underpinnings of C. S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and
the Wardrobe and J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Perhaps more than
any other genre of literature, fantasy texts attempt to represent,
challenge, and even modify individual and cultural ideologies. As
the classic works of Lewis and Tolkien demonstrate, fantasy
literature allows for a multidimensionality of personal and social
meanings meant to work against and alongside one another. Both C.
S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien demonstrate the social and conceptual
functions of fantasy literature. Lewis presents a theological
fantasy, in which he depicts foundational tenets of Christian
doctrine through a fantastic narrative. Tolkien's children's text,
The Hobbit, also reflects and recasts aspects of childhood against
the backdrop of a specific social context-a post World War I
society.
The doctrine of election remains one of the most controversial,
debated, and misunderstood issues in the history of theological
discourse. Precisely because of an overemphasis on election as a
theological abstraction, the textual and historical foundation of
the phenomenon of election has too frequently been undermined, or
lost all together. Election and Unity attempts to transcend certain
theological postulations and debate by privileging the conception
of election's scriptural and historical context(s). Nowhere in
scripture is election more fully elucidated than in Paul's epistle
to the Romans. Rather than proposing Romans to be some grandiose
theological treatise concerning divine choice, Election and Unity
interprets Paul's treatment of election in light of a primary
reason for writing the great epistle-the establishment of unity
among the ethnically and ideologically diverse congregations in
Rome.
