Through close readings of popular Gothic novels across the 19th century - \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Picture of Dorian Gray\u003c\/i\u003e, among others - Jonathan Greenaway demonstrates that to understand and read Gothic novels is to be drawn into the discourses of theology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite the differences in time, place and context that informed the writers of these stories, the Gothic novel is irreducibly fascinated with religious and theological ideas, and this angle has been often overlooked in broader scholarly investigations into the intersections between literature and religion. Combining historical theological awareness with interventions into contemporary theology, particularly around imaginative apologetics and theology and the arts, Jonathan Greenaway offers the beginnings of a modern theology of the Gothic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Greenaway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501371355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501371356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Jonathan Greenaway","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071531839743,"sku":"9781501371356","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9afdded0-5e5d-42b1-8ac3-445d26aa9d62.jpg?v=1685436656","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theology-horror-and-fiction-jonathan-greenaway-9781501371356","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
