Key questions involved are: How did the paradigmatic shift in th...

Theology and the Experience of God is an implicit, critical dialogue with Hegel's philosophy of religion and Anglo-American experientialist traditions. It suggests that the ancient Christian tradition of theology as faith seeking understanding (fides quaerens intellectum) should be reinterpreted today as the experience of God seeking understanding (experientia Dei quaerens intellectum). It presents fundamental theology in this light and then r...

Michael Boehringer applies the precepts of modern narrative theory to the analysis of well-known novellas by Ludwig Tieck, Heinrich von Kleist, Adalbert Stifter, and Theodor Storm. The resulting investigations of each text's narrative structure explore the uneasy balance between structure and content, open new interpretive perspectives, and demonstrate the changing nature of narration in the nineteenth century.

By showing that Joseph Heller was heavily influenced by the New Criticism and myth criticism that he studied in graduate school, this book discloses that Catch-22 is a faithful and inclusive retelling of the ancient epic of Gilgamesh, much as Joyce's Ulysses famously recapitulates Homer's Odyssey. This book shows that what previous critics have understood to be characteristics of the absurdist and Black Humor influence are derived from Heller'...

Employing various approaches - thematic, philosophical, and biographical - the author presents an original perspective of the major works of Su and Wordsworth. Although the book deals ...

A review of classic studies from the 1930s through the 1950s shows how content analysis can examine discourse as diverse as plays and psychiatric interviews. This book provides the foundations of semiotic psychology, including its methodological and theoretical origins in psychology and anthropological linguistics, and illumina...
