Inhaltsangabe:

"Shadow & Light has a variety of selections spanning a range of literature from medieval religious lyrics to contemporary American poetry, from John Bunyan to Isaac Bashevis Singer and john Updike, it makes vividly clear that the exploration of spiritual values is not limited to believers of one faith, or, indeed, not even to believers."-Robert Alter, Professor of Hebrew and Comparative Literature, University of California, Berkeley; author of The Art of Biblical Narrative

"Writers-poets and novelists, playwrights and bards-have always been essential witnesses to the ambiguities...the all-encompassing mysteries of birth and death, primary witnesses to matters of God and the soul. Unfortunately many of these witnesses have been sidelined in the curricula of our schools for the last fifty or so years, depriving us of ready access to the very language that is essential for living humanly. Thanks to this new edition of Shadow & Light, they are back on the playing field, taking their rightful place as witnesses to unexpurgated life."-Eugene H. Peterson. Professor Emeritus of Spiritual theology, Regent College, Vancouver, BC
