Seller's Description:
New. Size: 88x12x136; Here is a guidebook for those who want to learn how to recognize books that are spiritually and aesthetically good--to cultivate good literary taste. Gene Edward Veith presents basic information to help book lovers understand what they read--from the classics to the bestsellers. He explains how the major genres of literature communicate. He explores ways comedy, tragedy, realism, and fantasy can portray the Christian worldview. These discussions lead to a host of related topics--the value of fairy tales for children, the tragic and the comic sense of life, the interplay between Greek and Biblical concepts in the imagination, and the new "post-modernism" (a subject of vital importance to Christians). In the pages of this book, readers will meet writers, past and present who carry on a great literary tradition. By supporting worthy authors, Christians can exert a powerful influence on their culture. Paperback. New copy. 254pp., index. This book would make a great gift. Full refund if not satisfied.

Christians who don?t read are walking oxymorons because we are people of the book. Sadly, even Christians who are strong readers have tended to limit themselves to confessional works?missionary biographies, books on prayer, commentaries etc.- for the last several generations. Reading Between The Lines is a lamppost for us babes in the woods who are rediscovering the priceless value of literature. In the midst of helping us get our bearings concerning things like genres, forms, and modes of literature, he takes up hot button issues like why reading fiction does not involve us in lying, the pros and cons of the New Journalism, Post Modernism, and so forth. Young writers are pointed to greats of the past like C.S Lewis, Graham Greene, and Fanny O?Connor as role models who were able to gain an audience outside the church walls and yet hold on to their Christian perspective. A much needed book.
