Theology and Literature

Joel Gunderson interviews Rob Hendricks during their recent poetry seminar in Portland, Oregon. Both are close friends. Might be more interesting if you've read their poetry.

 

Reading from this slim volume on festivity by the German Thomist Josef Pieper.

Reading from this recent book by the archbishop of Venice, including "four essential features of the meaning of the man-woman pair." I'll happily take this down if Eerdmans objects.

Larry Bouchard's typology of approaches to the academic study of the intersection of religion and literature. "These four theses are intended mainly to describe, for the sake of comparison and discussion, some rationales for the intentional study of religion and literature. When we look at specific occasions of such study, more than one thesis may apply. They may be mutually inclusive, and I consider them all valid and valuable. But their negations ("au contraire"), as far as I am concerned, are not necessarily mutually consistent. They represent some very important, often "postmodernist" directions for criticizing religion and literature studies."

The story of the first poem in the English language, revealed in a dream to an illiterate shepherd.
