1. "Deeply theological, Mong's new book is also an excellent example of close readings of literary texts from Augustine to Graham Greene. If theology can be distrustful of literature it is also profoundly enlightened and enlivened by its art. This is a very fine introduction to the riches of the study of literature and theology." - Revd Canon David Jasper, Emeritus Professor, University of Glasgow.2."In this engaging and accessible text, Ambrose Mong provides a sweeping review of Christianity in the western literary canon. Ranging from Dante to Coleridge to Graham Greene, he shows how literature has provided a unique medium for reflection on central themes of the Christian faith." - Ian A. McFarland, Robert W. Woodruff Professor of Theology, Candler School of Theology, Emory University3. "In this judicious survey, Ambrose Mong masterfully traces the themes of sin and grace through some of the major works of the Western Christian literary tradition. From Augustine and Dante to Dostoevsky and Graham Greene, the book offers an illuminating account of the way faith and imagination have grown up together in Western cultures." - Ben Myers, Professor of Theology and Literature, Alphacrucis University College.
