If the biblical reading of life is in any way true, literature will be strongly drawn towards it. Eden, Fall, Transformation, in whatever guise, will emerge in literature as everywhere else. - Michael Edwards, Towards a Christian Poetics

For my theobro mutes: as a person recently committing to converting to Presbyterianism from a Baptist background, would you recommend Leithart? (I’m currently interested in learning about baptism, not Federal Vision which seems like a whole other can of worms).

"If God made the flowers, they are worth painting and writing about. If God made the birds, they are worth painting. If God made the sky, the sky is worth painting. If God made the ocean, indeed, it's worth writing poetry about. It is worth man's while to create works upon the…

"Reading and writing literature depend on a respect for the ability of the imagination to embody truth. There is no valid reason for the perennial Christian preference of biography, history, and the newspaper to fiction and poetry. The former tells us what happened, the latter…

Literary abilities, wheresoever they be found, are the inspired gift of God, rarely bestowed, but yet to some in every nation; and are of power, beside the office of a pulpit, to inbreed and cherish in a great people the seed of virtue. - John Milton

"Perhaps a secular world view inevitably leads to a universe in which a text is merely a playing field for the reader's own intellectual athleticism. Perhaps only a Christian view (such as Milton's) of the imago descending from God to author to text can preserve the writing of…
