Rebecca Bratten Weiss: The Books That Made Us: Deconstructing the Modern Christian Classics, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

What do you do when you realize that the books you were taught to revere imbued you with false perspectives on humanity, society, and morals?

This is the question editor and journalist Rebecca Bratten Weiss poses, as she revisits beloved but problematic Christian writers like G. K. Chesterton, T. S. Eliot, J. R.R. Tolkien, Evelyn Waugh, and C. S. Lewis. While documenting her journey out of conservative Christian culture, Bratten Weiss sorts through the rubble of old beliefs, discerning which to discard and which to keep.

The Books That Made Us reminds readers how powerfully literature can shape us--and how devastatingly it can harm us.
