While the author's intention is to show Dickens's great faith, he instead makes him come across as Pelagian. It's format and tone is academic, but the writing, research, and conclusions from the research are sub-par. ( ) Like most of the book's intended general audience, I have heard that Dickens was at best a marginal Christian - and have found this surprising, given the content of his writings. Colledge goes a long way towards clearing this up with his presentation of how Dickens was an average lay person in most of his theological views, and how this is expressed in his writings. With this in mind, Dicken's Christianity, which, as noted, is apparent in his writings, is explained and clarified. While intended for a general audience, the book is well foot-noted and shows careful research. For a few of the minor points the evidence is a little thin, but in all of the major points Colledge presents a convincing argument. Reading this book has certainly helped me appreciate Dickens more, and I highly recommend it if you like Dickens. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Charles Dickens's 200th birthday will be celebrated in 2012. Though his writings are now more than 100 years old, many remain in print and are avidly read and studied. Often overlooked--or unknown--are the considerable Christian convictions Dickens held and displayed in his work. This book fills that vacuum by examining Dickens the Christian and showing how Christian beliefs and practices permeate his work. This historical work is written for pastors, students, and laity alike. Chapters look at Dickens's life and work topically, arguing that Christian faith was front and center in some of what Dickens wrote (such as his children's work The Life of Our Lord) and saliently implicit throughout various other characters and plots. Since Dickens's Christian side is rarely considered, Gary Colledge illuminates a fresh angle of Dickens, and the 200th birthday makes it especially timely. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
