Theology, Literature, and Prayer : A Pedagogical SuggestionThe present essay is born out of my courses at the University of Notre Dame on ‘Between Religion and Literature: Meaning, Vulnerability and Human Existence’ and ‘Religion and Literature: In the Light of Job’, and writing it would not have been possible without the wisdom received from my students. A first version of the essay was prepared for the Systematic Theology Seminar at King’s College London, and its current form is indebted to comments received from Susannah Ticciati and the seminar’s participants. It is also indebted to comments received from Christian Coppa, Peter Hampson, Zoë Lehmann Imfeld, Alison Milbank, John Milbank, and Susannah Monta. In the present essay I omit direct bibliographical reference so as to communicate more directly, as if in the context of classroom reading of primary texts. For bibliography, broader discussion and further acknowledgements, see my ‘Love, Forgiveness and Meaning: On the Relationship Between Theological and Literary Reflection’, Religion and Literature 41.2 (2009), pp. 79–86; ‘Dante and Gregory the Great’, in eds. Claire Honess and Matthew Treherne, Reviewing Dante’s Theology vol. 1 (Oxford: Peter Lang, 2013); ‘Forgiveness, Prayer and the Meaning of Poetry’, Literature Compass 11.2 (2014), pp. 138–147; see also Robin Kirkpatrick and Vittorio Montemaggi, ‘Theology and Literature: Reflections on Dante and Shakespeare’, in eds. Mervyn Davies, Oliver D. Crisp, Gavin D’Costa, and Peter Hampson, Christianity and the Disciplines: The Transformation of the University (London: Continuum, 2012).
