Discerning the Mystery by Andrew Louth
This book examines the influence of the Enlightenment on theology, arguing that its legacy did not profoundly affect the importance of tradition; that the ways of older theology hold a surprising relevance; and that the unity between theology and spirituality is once again discerned.
`a Yeatsian reverie' Times Literary Supplement
'Mr Louth writes like an angel' Theology
`A most learned, well-written and provoking book, with some surprises for all' Expository Times
'It deserves to be widely studied and discussed.. Louth has given us a programme to occupy our attention for some time.' John McIntyre, Religious Studies
'The reader finds himself being drawn into a long and fascinating conversation in which poets meet philosophers, philosophers meet theologians, and theologians encounter historians and literary critics. Claudel, Goethe, T. S. Eliot, Gadamer, Polanyi, Marcel, Lossky, de Lubac, Torrance, to mention only some, all make their contribution.' PN Review
'it remains an interesting and original attempt to grapple with the nature of theology ... This book needs to be read as an eloquent protest against the dryness of much modern theology and biblical interpretation' Peter Forster, St John's College, Durham, Anvil, Vol.8, No.1, 1991
