Book Description

In a world of increasingly strident identity politics, a theological approach, claiming no more than the outworking of subjectivist sentiment, offers no remedy. What if a key factor in this predicament is a misrepresentation of the operation of metaphor? This acknowledged building-block of language looks set to become a mere component of the wearer's spectacles. The consequences for theology, philosophy, literature, and even the sciences are yet to be charted. This book takes readers on a journey to the Land of Oz and asks whether our culture, while discarding past errors, can reconnect with the spiritual bonds that underpin language, truth in its various forms, and identity. Companions on the road are Dorothy and her friends, Sallie McFague and the Wizard, Paul Ricœur and C. S. Lewis, and others.

Book Description

A Novelette, a Novella, and a Short Story Go into a Bar: Wizards and Wizdom. Erick is good with a sword, but he does not have the temperament to lead, and he refuses to follow. His military instructor counsels Erick that his best career choice is studying to become a wizard. All he needs is an agreeable mentor who can stay focused. A Terrible Myth Take. Kurt follows his younger brother through a rabbit hole that transports them into a primitive, alternate reality. Unable to return home, Kurt takes up the sword and tries to sort out whether he is the Chosen One. If he is, perhaps he can defeat the evil wizard and save eight interlinked worlds from disaster. Unfortunately, his quest bears little resemblance to any of the myths he knows or the epic movies he has seen. The Unicorn Dilemma. The forest dragon likes the crunchy flavor of knights after they have been flame roasted inside their armor. Perhaps a unicorn can sway the dragon's tastes to something more eclectic.
