Abstract

symploke Jesus' mission to overturn the Satanic/adversarial image of God, he includes in a single paragraph references to work of Lacan, Saint Paul, Freud, Graham Greene, and William Golding. As is suggested by these rapid-fire references and by the relatively short length of the book, this is not the place to come for in-depth engagement with these thinkers, but that is not Eagleton's purpose. Instead, he challenges readers to rethink the spaces between faith and reason and invites us to act so that we might witness a "transfigured future" (169). Amy L.
