About

The relationship between literature and religion has sometimes been one of hostility, sometimes one in which they have occupied separate worlds. Today the relationship is at once more intimate and more complex. This lecture will explore the various ways in which literature enriches and deepens a religious view of life. At the same time it will suggest that literature itself might be open to a critique from the outside.
