    Those who believe in God often puzzle over how God could permit evil and suffering in the world. 'Nature Red in Tooth and Claw' focuses specifically on non-human animal suffering, and whether or not it raises problems for belief in the existence of a perfectly good creator

    The beginning of the 21st century saw the rise of New Atheism and a resulting conflict with Theists – at the same time as the resurgence of fantasy in popular culture. This volume analyses the impact of Theist and Atheist thought on the narratology of four highly popular works of contemporary fantastic fiction. In doing so, the work demonstrates how the ideological stances and the associated patterns of thought colour the novels’ stylistic and narrative devices. The book also presents a new conditional genre metric that not only helps overcome previous impasses within fantastic genre categories but also allows insight into the aforementioned patterns of Atheist and Theist thinking. This book investigates Atheism and Theism’s impact on modern fantasy fiction. A newly-created form of conditional genre metric underpins the analysis. The results frame specific Theist and Atheist modes of thought and their effect on the respective narratologies, from plot methodology down to the creation of specific stylistic devices.

    Written over a period of almost twenty years, Clarel is Melville's last major literary work to be published before his death in 1891. Although it represents a lifetime of philosophical and theological speculation, the poem's intimidating length and complex syntax have caused Americanists and even many Melvilleans to overlook its critical role in the interpretation of Melville's thought. In this groundbreaking analysis of Melville's major poetic work, Clarel, Goldman draws on extensive biblical and textual research, as well as on his own rabbinical training, to trace the intertextual, dialogical relationship between the poem and the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. Through a close examination of Clarel within biblical, theological, and narratological contexts, Goldman demonstrates how Melville's religious outlook paradoxically combines doubt and faith, despair and hope, anger and love, seriousness and scathing irony. The first book-length study of Clarel to appear in twenty years, Goldman's work sheds critical light on one of the most vexing questions in Melville studies, the extent of Melville's religious belief. Goldman demonstrates that Melville's theological reflection in Clarel represents "protest theism," that is, an attempt to find or to establish the limits within which faith is possible and existence endures and has meaning. The nonsectarian, nondogmatic faith proclaimed in Clarel, Goldman explains, protests and laments human fate yet also embraces renewed commitment to God. In reading Clarel intertextually with the Bible, Goldman moves beyond setting, character, plot, and symbol - on which most critics have focused - to illuminate both the narrative voices and the theological complexity of Clarel. His reading of the poem's mosaic of biblical quotations, allusions, and glosses demonstrates the centrality of biblical literature to Clarel and to our understanding of Melville's mature theology.

    Atheism and Christianity are often placed at polar opposite ends of a spectrum, forever in stark conflict with each other. In The Aesthetics of Atheism, Kutter Callaway and Barry Taylor propose a radical alternative: atheism and theism need each other. In fact, atheism offers profound and necessary theological insights into the heart of Christianity itself. To get at these truths, Callaway and Taylor dive into the aesthetic dimensions of atheism

    Written over a period of almost twenty years, Clarel is Melville's last major literary work to be published before his death in 1891. Although it represents a lifetime of philosophical and theological speculation, the poem's intimidating length and complex syntax have caused Americanists and even many Melvilleans to overlook its critical role in the interpretation of Melville's thought. In this groundbreaking analysis of Melville's major poetic work, Clarel, Goldman draws on extensive biblical and textual research, as well as on his own rabbinical training, to trace the intertextual, dialogical relationship between the poem and the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. Through a close examination of Clarel within biblical, theological, and narratological contexts, Goldman demonstrates how Melville's religious outlook paradoxically combines doubt and faith, despair and hope, anger and love, seriousness and scathing irony. The first book-length study of Clarel to appear in twenty years, Goldman's work sheds critical light on one of the most vexing questions in Melville studies, the extent of Melville's religious belief. Goldman demonstrates that Melville's theological reflection in Clarel represents "protest theism," that is, an attempt to find or to establish the limits within which faith is possible and existence endures and has meaning. The nonsectarian, nondogmatic faith proclaimed in Clarel, Goldman explains, protests and laments human fate yet also embraces renewed commitment to God. In reading Clarel intertextually with the Bible, Goldman moves beyond setting, character, plot, and symbol - on which most critics have focused - to illuminate both the narrative voices and the theological complexity of Clarel. His reading of the poem's mosaic of biblical quotations, allusions, and glosses demonstrates the centrality of biblical literature to Clarel and to our understanding of Melville's mature theology.
