Description for Towards a Christian Literary Theory
Paperback. Series: Cross-Currents in Religion and Culture. Num Pages: 229 pages, biography. BIC Classification: DSA; JFC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .
Most modern literary theory is explicitly anti-theological. This book states the case for a contemporary literary theory whose principles derive from Christian theology. Ferretter argues that it remains rationally and ethically legitimate to use theological language in literary theory despite the objections to such a theory posed by deconstruction, Marxism and psychoanalysis. He concludes with an assessment of how such a theory can be formulated and used in contemporary cultural analysis.
