| Sumario: | "The Theological Dickens" is a book that explores Charles Dickens' opinions on the Christian faith and its role in Victorian culture. While the collection covers various aspects of Dickens' work, such as his views on material culture and social justice, it does not extensively discuss the theological dimensions of his writing. The book also examines how Dickens grappled with questions of literal truth in the Bible and the teleological implications of evolutionary science. Some contributors challenge Dickens' anti-Catholicism and explore the relationship between his work and Catholic social teaching. Overall, the book offers diverse perspectives on Dickens' religious beliefs but falls short in providing a comprehensive analysis of his theology. |
