Believing Again

<DIV>In Believing Again Roger Lundin brilliantly explores the cultural consequences of the rather sudden nineteenth-century emergence of unbelief as a widespread social and intellectual option in the English-speaking world. / Lundin's narrative focuses on key poets and novelists from the past two centuries - Dostoevsky Dickinson Melville Auden and more - showing how they portray the modern mind and heart balancing between belief and unbelief. Lundin engages these literary luminaries through chapters on a series of vital subjects from history and interpretation to beauty and memory. Such theologians as Barth and Balthasar also enter the fray facing the challenge of modern unbelief with a creative brilliance that has gone largely unnoticed outside the world of faith. Lundin's Believing Again is a beautifully written erudite examination of the drama and dynamics of belief in the modern world.
