Description

In a culture where institutional religion is in decline there is a pressing need for new theological strategies. Andrew Shanks argues for a fresh 'theological poetics', providing an eloquent first step towards meeting these needs and an alternative strategy for reconciling Christian theology with poetic truth.

About the Author

Andrew Shanks is a Church of England priest in North yorkshire. He is the author of God and Modernity (Routledge, 2000), Civil Society, Civil Religion (Blackwell, 1995) and Hegel's Political Economy (Cambridge University Press, 1991).



Reviews

'Where Shanks, in this thoughtful, cultured book, is right, and so is needed, is getting us to see that certain works of art, not just the poets he discusses, have the effect on us that sacred scripture and Christian truths ought to have, and often fail to have because we have packaged them too neatly, without any sense of shakenness.' - The Rt Revd Richard Harris, Bishop of Oxford, Church Times

'One can only hope that this book will not be overlooked ... it would be tragic if such a timely and impassioned appeal to the Church to step out of its grave-clothes went unheard.' - John Pridmore, Modern Believing

'A highly teachable book for seminarians and one with insights to offer literary criticism and continental philosophy.' - Cleo Kearns, Religious Studies Review

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
