Reviews / Votes
Critique that is incisive, rigorous and compassionate, unflinching in its interrogation of secularist presuppositions and yet unpolemical, Carruther's volume shows the vitality of the new religion and literature and all it has to offer to mainstream English studies. If this is the harbinger of post-secular scholarship, give me more. Books like this perform an invaluable function by explaining the emergence of...misconceptions, thus hopefully preparing the ground for their obsolescence. * Studies in English Literature, Vol. 53, No. 1 * Carruthers... [employs] to startling effect the critical apparatus of the merged disciplines of literature and theology. * Religious Studies Review *More details
