Product Description

Rethinking the field of religion and literature and including chapters by leading international scholars, "Reading the Abrahamic Faiths" opens up a three-way dialogue between Jewish, Islamic and Global Christian literary traditions. To date, the field of literary studies - so receptive to interdisciplinary issues of world culture, politics, philosophy and globalization - has been relatively unconcerned with the question of 'world religions' or interfaith dialogues. In response to this, this book begins to rethink the field of religion and literature from a 'world' perspective that challenges not only critical discourses that are inhospitable to religion but also those which embrace it. In addition, the book also explores post-secularism to reflect on questions of faith and belief through contemporary theory and world politics. Each section - Judaism, Islam, Christianity and Post-Secularism - is introduced by an eminent scholar of those respective fields and helps anchor the reader unfamiliar with these debates in the close readings of the literary texts and traditions that follow.
