The Oxford Handbook of English Literature and Theology is monumental... These essays are finely executed and valuable.

Wesley A. Kort, Journal of the American Academy of Religion

...a volume that is both particular and representative, one that successfully fulfils the double task of introducing the reader to current debates, and serving to consolidate the larger field.

Emma Mason literature and theology

The Handbook offers a sense of what interdisciplinary study might mean with enthusiasm, careful methodological awareness and wide-ranging appeal. It more than meets the high expectations placed upon it, and will be of lasting value to scholars in both fields, and to general readers who want to gain an insight into this expanding area of enquiry.

...illuminating ... this Handbook ... will be useful, not just to specialists in the subject, but to many others as well.

Richard Harries, The Church Times

The Oxford Handbook of English Literature and Theology is a defining volume of essays in which leading international scholars apply an interdisciplinary approach to the long and evolving relationship between English Literature and Theology. The volume first offers a chronological account of key moments in the formation of the tradition; goes on to demonstrate literary ways of reading the Bible, theological ways of reading literature, and literary conceptions of theological texts; and finally explores the great themes that have preoccupied the Jewish and Christian traditions. Framing editorial essays describe the history, the cultural implications, and the methodological issues of this now popular interdisciplinary study, before speculating as to its possible futures in a postmodern, multicultural world.
