Table of ContentsReviewsA study not only of the nineteenth century, de Jong's book on George MacDonald is also a warning for our own time and its religious tendencies. MacDonald is often known for little more than his influence on C. S. Lewis and Tolkien, but here he emerges as a serious voice, not a theologian but through literature an explorer of central theological ideas and their influence for good and, too often, ill. De Jong's knowing and informed revisiting of the theme of the child after Wordsworth and Romanticism is a welcome reminder of its continuing importance today, of the importance of literature, and of the dangers of the vampire of fundamentalism. --David Jasper, Emeritus Professor, University of Glasgow A study not only of the nineteenth century, de Jong's book on George MacDonald is also a warning for our own time and its religious tendencies.
