| Summary |
"The theme of Adams Grace is the interplay of theology and literature and the use of medieval literary texts to explain the balance of the Fall and the Redemption, the universality of original sin, and the identity of mankind with its first parents, Adam and Eve. Brian Murdoch looks at this interaction of literature and theology across as wide a range of genres and vernaculars as possible."--Jacket |
