How does contemporary fiction engage with the claims and ideas of Christian theology? Can
secular
fictions accommodate transcendent experiences or encounters with the divine? Does belief continue
to influence the shape of fiction in any meaningful way? This study argues against the idea that the
postmodern condition of late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century culture has undermined
the close and creative association between religious practice and literature. It suggests that the
novel, as a major narrative genre of contemporary Western culture, has become an increasingly vital,
dynamic and problematic space for engaging with the sacred.
Tate
examines the work of more than
a dozen contemporary Anglo-American novelists, including John Updike, Douglas
Coupland,
John
Irving,
Michèle
Roberts, Don DeLillo and Jim
Crace.
He shows how the sacred turn in Western
to 7
J
culture is manifested within the novel from the
1980s
to the present, paying particular attention
to representations of such theological ideas as the miraculous, the heretical, the apocalyptic and
the messianic.
