This exploration of the relationship between literature and religion adopts a series of different strategies and perspectives, aiming to provide an introduction to the variety of ways in which literature, literary theory and theology are related. The doctrine of the Resurrection, morality and ethics, aesthetics, hermeneutics and issues of intentionality and referentiality are all discussed in the belief that, in literature, we glimpse at times the fulfilment of our nature, cast in the imaginative genius of great art and continuing to persuade us of the value and ultimate truth of the theological enterprise.
