Reviews

Taylor demonstrates a remarkable command of Thomas Hardy's novels and they lead him to an accomplished engagement with some of the most important themes in 20th-century theology, focusing especially on one of its giants: Hans Urs von Balthasar. It is rare to find a theologian who combines critical theological intelligence with literary sensitivity in this way. Taylor's close readings of Hardy are often delicate and profoundly moving. His honest, inquiring and reflective mind perfectly suits the interdisciplinarity of his subject. Ben Quash, King's College London, UK Kevin Taylor's book offers a crucial supplement and corrective to Hans Urs von Balthasar's theological aesthetics. As Taylor demonstrates, Hardy's tragic vision also demands a Christian reckoning. Ralph C. Wood, Baylor University, USA
