Cosmological Models And The Christian Faith In John Milton's Paradise Lost, Jacob R. Taylor Apr 2020

Cosmological Models And The Christian Faith In John Milton's Paradise Lost, Jacob R. Taylor

Tenor of Our Times

In this work the author argues that John Milton justifies the intelligibility and priority of Christian faith against modern revolutions of science in his epic poem Paradise Lost.

Till We Have Faces: A Restoration Of Perspective On The Condition Of Man, Joan Alexander Jan 1997

Till We Have Faces: A Restoration Of Perspective On The Condition Of Man, Joan Alexander

Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016

Man’s relationship to a Divine Being is one of the persisting concerns of literature, with modern leanings contending that God does not exist or does not involve himself with man. C.S. Lewis’s Till We Have Faces concerns itself with this approach to God, proposing that it might not be God who is the problem but man’s perception of him.
