Download Reading Between the Lines: A Christian Guide to Literature AudioBook Free
[Read by Jeff Riggenbach]
That is a guidebook for Christians who wish to learn how to identify books that are spiritually and aesthetically good -- to cultivate good literary taste. Gene Edward Veith presents basic information to help book lovers understand what they read, from the classics to the bestsellers. He explains how the major genres of literature communicate and explores the ways in which comedy, tragedy, realism, and fantasy can portray the Christian worldview.
These discussions lead to a host of related topics: the worthiness of fairy tales for children, the tragic and the comic sense of life, the interplay between Greek and Biblical concepts in the imagination, and the new ''post-modernism,'' a subject of vital importance to Christians.
Within the pages of the book, readers will meet writers, past and present, who carry on a great literary tradition. By supporting worthy authors, Christians can exert a robust influence on their culture.
