Reading for Redemption
Author: Christian R. Davis
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1610970640
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
The goal of this book is to define and explain the archetypal pattern of redemption that underlies our whole notion of resolution in literature and to demonstrate, through multiple examples, that successful literature--poems and stories that have shown endurance or popularity--uses this pattern in specific ways. This theory should help readers to interpret both particular works of literature and the general notion of literature. The pattern of redemption employed here, in its ideal form, involves the sacrifice of an innocent redeemer to save something that has been lost. Because this pattern of redemption is typically associated with Christianity, this book can be taken as proposing a Christian theory of criticism. Current textbooks on literary criticism and theory cover a range of perspectives, such as Marxism, feminism, multiculturalism, reader response, and queer theory, but they invariably ignore the field of Christian criticism. Therefore, this book may be most useful as a supplementary text for courses in literary criticism that might include a Christian perspective. At the same time, however, the terms and methodology proposed here are not exclusive to or dependant on Christian beliefs, so readers of all types may find this approach useful. The greatest strength of this book is its application of the theory to numerous examples from a wide range of genres and periods of literature, testing the theory on classical and Shakespearean works such as the Iliad and Odyssey, Hamlet and Coriolanus; best sellers such as The Lord of the Rings, Le Petit Prince, Valley of the Dolls, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; horror stories such as Frankenstein; postcolonial novels such as Things Fall Apart and The Kite Runner; and lyric poems. Consequently, even readers who are skeptical of the assumptions used here should find the many concrete examples thought-provoking.

Book Description
This is book 2 in the Check Mate series. (Warning: This book series contains violence and suicides. It is recommended for adults only.) The American Townships aren't like they used to be, at least not in San Tropolis, the township where President Aldrich rules. Thanks to the plotters and their attempts to get people to rebel, there's a lot of civil unrest. Bombings and rioting are commonplace now. Such things were unheard of until recently. As more people become brave enough to stand up against Aldrich and the High Council, the president fears he is losing control of the township. Despite their efforts, Darren and the other plotters still haven't been able to put an end to Check Mate, the show that rewards assailants for killing people. To make matters worse, one of the plotters has betrayed their group. Can the remaining plotters ever be able to come up with a plan to end the lethal reality series? Will there be a way to take Aldrich and his brother, Frank Sommers, down? It at least helps that most people hate the president and the High Council. The plotters may get more help than they expected. Their group faces a daunting task, but they will never accept Aldrich's rules or his barbaric TV show. Will they be safe? Will they ever get over the betrayal from one of their own? Will they ever be able to put an end to Check Mate? Whatever happens, they know that they can't sit back and watch people be killed each week for the High Council's entertainment. No matter what, the plotters must do everything they can to stop Aldrich and the High Council!
