Towards a Christian literary theory

Most modern literary theory is explicitly anti-theological.

This book states the case for a contemporary literary theory whose principles derive from Christian theology.

Ferretter argues that it remains rationally and ethically legitimate to use theological language in literary theory despite the objections to such a theory posed by deconstruction, Marxism and psychoanalysis.

He concludes with an assessment of how such a theory can be formulated and used in contemporary cultural analysis.
