Product Description A guidebook for those who want to cultivate literary taste―knowing how to recognize and benefit from books that are spiritually and aesthetically good.Literary expert Gene Veith helps book lovers better understand what they read as he explains how each major literary genre communicates. Showing how comedy, tragedy, realism, and fantasy can portray the Christian worldview, Veith delves into related topics such as the value of fairy tales, the tragic and the comic sense of life, the contrast between the classical and the Hebraic traditions, and the role of postmodernity (a subject of vital importance to Christians). Introducing readers to writers past and present, Veith helps Christians to influence culture from an educated perspective and get more out of their reading. Review “Reading Between the Lines is thoroughly enjoyable and thoroughly literate―a magnificent blending of history, literature, and theology that will be welcomed by professionals and laity alike.” ―Wayne Martindale, Professor of English, Wheaton College; author, Beyond the Shadowlands: C. S. Lewis on Heaven and Hell“What a superb resource this is! It resonates with profound perceptions of how good literature works to enrich and illuminate us. Dr. Veith proves himself once again to be a knowledgeable guide through the landscape of the written word.”―Luci Shaw, author, God in the Dark and Polishing the Petoskey Stone“Veith has written on important topics with his usual clarity, good sense, organizing ability, and comprehensiveness. The scope of this project is impressive.”―Leland Ryken, Emeritus Professor of English, Wheaton College“Veith makes it clear that the joys of reading can be deep joys of the type which can enliven our souls. This book should raise significantly the cultural level of evangelicalism.”―Edward E. Ericson Jr., Professor Emeritus of English, Calvin College About the Author Gene Edward Veith (PhD, University of Kansas) is provost and professor of literature emeritus at Patrick Henry College.
