A Theology Of Reading: The Hermeneutics Of Love

Autor Alan Jacobs
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2001
If the whole of the Christian life is to be governed by the "law of love"—the twofold love of God and one's neighbor—what might it mean to read lovingly?

Auden and Dickens), Jacobs pursues an elusive quarry: the charitable reader.
