Theology After Reading: Christian Imagination and the Power of Fiction $44.95 “”Theology After Reading” explores how recent novelists, alongside certain post-War Christian theologians, appear to be challenging, inverting, reinterpreting, and sometimes even affirming, the basic questions and answers of more traditional theologians. Focusing on five novels, Darren Middleton’s book illustrates how literary art provokes theological reflection. Examining Graham Greene’s “The End of the Affair,” Toni Morrison’s “Sula,” Nikos Kazantzakis’s “The Last Temptation of Christ,” Earl Lovelace’s “The Wine of Astonishment,” and Paul Thigpen’s “My Visit to Hell,” Middleton deftly illuminates the expression of both mainstream and progressive Christian doctrines as themes in these selected works of fiction, ultimately reaffirming the graced search for meaning in the mindful Christian life.” |

Miniatures and Morals: The Christian Novels of Jane Austen $16 “Jane Austen’s novels are not only still widely read, but they also continue to influence modern film and literature. In both their moral content and their focused, highly detailed, “miniaturist” execution, they reveal Austen’s mastery of the art of fiction and her concern for Christian virtues exercised within communities. Her sharp wit and sense of irony entertain, edify, and challenge both men and women alike. From theological and literary angles, Leithart unpacks both character and theme while summarizing each of Austen’s major works. For all who desire a richer appreciation of her enduring genius, Leithart offers a hearthside seat.” |

Rapture Fiction And The Evangelical Crisis $14.99 “Jesus Christ will soon return to the earth. This book, like the rapture fiction novels it discusses, finds its hope in that statement’s truth. Nothing that this book argues should therefore be understood as in any way underplaying the significance of our Lord’s second coming, or its central importance in consistent Christian living. The New Testament documents shine with the anticipation of glory, and this book must not dull that hope.Rapture Fiction and the Evangelical Crisis seeks to retain rapture novels’ enthusiasm for the return of Jesus Christ at the same time as it examines their presentation of the gospel. Its most basic argument is that rapture novels have emerged from an evangelicalism that shows signs of serious theological decay. In their descriptions of conversion and Christian living, rapture fiction novels demonstrate a sometimes inadequate understanding of the gospel, the church and the Christian life. These novels are some of the best-selling ‘evangelical’ titles in the world, but the faith they represent cannot be identified with the historic orthodoxy of evangelical Protestantism, the ‘faith which was once delivered unto the saints’ (Jude 3). The novels’ combination of theological inadequacy and massive popularity is evidence that evangelicalism is now in serious crisis.” |
