The Theology of Modern Fiction is a book written by Thomas G. Selby, which contains the transcript of the twenty-sixth Fernley lecture. In this book, Selby explores the relationship between theology and modern fiction. The author argues that theology and fiction share a common ground in their exploration of human experience, and that modern fiction can be used as a tool for theological reflection.The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the nature of modern fiction and its relationship to theology. Selby argues that modern fiction is characterized by its exploration of the human condition and its ability to reveal the complexity of human experience. He also suggests that modern fiction can be used to explore theological questions and to deepen our understanding of God.The second part of the book focuses on the work of several modern fiction writers, including D.H. Lawrence, Graham Greene, and Flannery O'Connor. Selby analyzes their works in light of theological themes, such as sin, redemption, and the search for meaning.The final part of the book explores the role of the reader in the theological interpretation of modern fiction. Selby argues that the reader plays an active role in the interpretation of fiction and that this interpretation can be a valuable tool for theological reflection.Overall, The Theology of Modern Fiction is a thought-provoking book that explores the intersection of theology and modern fiction. It offers insights into the nature of human experience and the ways in which fiction can be used to deepen our understanding of theological concepts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
