We posit that the two fields have always been intimately related, aesthetically, formally and theoretically, creating a reciprocal critical awareness framed by the relatively recent theo-literary thinking of figures such as Walter Benjamin, Martin Buber, HansGeorg Gadamer and Geoffrey Hartman. Committed to reflecting on the question of how these two disciplines continue to interact, we are particularly concerned toredress the marked evasion of this relationship within existing scholarship. As Stanley Fish recently declared, religion has the capacity to ‘succeed high theory and race, gender and class as the centre of intellectual energy inacademe’. The books in this series are written by a group of critics eager to contribute to and read work intimate with both evolving and new religious and literary debates.
