Heroes of the City of Man: A Christian Guide to Select Ancient Literature Quotes

“I do see Christ everywhere and in everything, as the One in Whom all things, including Western literature, consist. Shakespeare's plays are among the "all things" that Paul says are created "for Christ" (col. 1:16-17). If there is offense in taking Paul quite literally and pressing his global affirmation into crannies of the academy that would rather not hear from an apostle, it is an offense for which I cannot apologize. Pressing Paul's point is a straightforward and unavoidable demand of discipleship. (page 28)”

“I believe we find imaginative satisfaction in stories that end with weddings because we live in a world that will end with a wedding. The Bible tells the story of history, a story that is so mysteriously "built into" the structures of our minds and practices, so that even writers who resist this story cannot help but leave traces of it -- faint and distorted as they may be -- on every page. (Leithart 30)”
