Then too, many of the most recognized aesthetic literary forms derive from biblical exemplars. And finally, many great works of literature demand of readers evaluative judgments of the good, the true and the beautiful that can only rightly be understood within a Christian worldview.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book Jeffrey and Maillet offer a feast of theoretical and practical discernment. After an examination of literature and truth, theological aesthetics, and the literary character of the Bible, they turn to a brief survey of literature from medieval times to the present, highlighting distinctively Christian themes and judgments. In a concluding chapter they suggest a path for budding literary critics through the current state of literary studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is a must-read for all who are interested in a Christian perspective on literary studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Christian Worldview Integration Series, edited by J.
