An attempt to extend the notion of reading and the concept of a religiously reading community. Professor Detweiler is convinced of the importance of entertaining the energetic discussions of contemporary literary theory in the present debates in religious studies. This series of volumes attempts to provide an interdisciplinary introduction to the study of literature and religion, concerned with the fundamentally important issues of the imagination, literary perceptions and an understanding of poetics for theology and religious studies and the underlying religious implications in so much literature and literary criticism. Other titles in this series include "The Study of Literature and Religion - An Introduction", "Language and the Worship of the Church" and "Pity and Terror - Christianity and tragedy".
