This book would make a great introductory textbook to the study of Christian themes in literature. As I was reading it, I was reminded of a Sunday School class that I attended in Wyoming many years ago where we studied a poem by George Herbert and compared it to the Bible. It was a meaningful exercise and one that I repeated on my own as a devotional study afterwards. This book actually points out some of the works of literature which might be explored, whether poetry or fiction, and points to the themes that might be explored in some of these. The authors also utilize philosophy in exploring some of the works and in establishing a framework for their study. This is not a book which establishes a new interpretation of anything, but rather one which consolidates some of the research to make its study easier, making it ideal for use as a textbook. There are good bibliographies at the end of each chapter for those wishing to explore the subjects covered in more depth. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"What has Jesus Christ to do with English literature?" ask David Lyle Jeffrey and Gregory Maillet in this insightful survey.First and foremost, they reply, many of the world's best authors of literature in English were formed--for better or worse--by the Christian tradition. Then too, many of the most recognized aesthetic literary forms derive from biblical exemplars. And finally, many great works of literature demand of readers evaluative judgments of the good, the true and the beautiful that can only rightly be understood within a Christian worldview.In this book Jeffrey and Maillet offer a feast of theoretical and practical discernment. After an examination of literature and truth, theological aesthetics, and the literary character of the Bible, they turn to a brief survey of literature from medieval times to the present, highlighting distinctively Christian themes and judgments. In a concluding chapter they suggest a path for budding literary critics through the current state of literary studies.Here is a must-read for all who are interested in a Christian perspective on literary studies.
