Ethics and Children's Literature
Exploring the ethical questions posed by, in, and about children’s literature, this collection examines the way texts intended for children raise questions of value, depict the moral development of their characters, and call into attention shared moral presuppositions. The essays in Part I look at various past attempts at conveying moral messages to children and interrogate their underlying assumptions. What visions of childhood were conveyed by explicit attempts to cultivate specific virtues in children? What unstated cultural assumptions were expressed by growing resistance to didacticism? How should we prepare children to respond to racism in their books and in their society? Part II ta...
Life among the Powers
Many Christians have come to see that they live in a world marked by structural problems—legacies of racial injustice, climate change, constraining forms of gender and sexuality, to name just a few. A faithful response to these problems calls for ethical and political witness, and theologians have used the New Testament language describing the “principalities and powers” to provide just that: a picture of faith in which Christ redeems humanity from structures of power. This tradition, though, sometimes offers the hope of an “outside,” ways of living in which we can be no longer complicit with the powers. This book pushes this conversation further, seeking a theological understanding—and the spirituality that lives within it—of how we are implicated in such structures, what we are called to do to resist their harms, and who we might still become. Along the way, it reads together unlikely fellow-travelers Karl Barth and Michel Foucault to argue that while our complicity with the powers is inescapable, we can still live meaningfully different, movingly faithful lives that challenge the forms of the world that we believe are passing away.
Evil in the Christian Fantasy of C.S. Lewis and J.K. Rowling
Evil in the Christian Fantasy of C.S. Lewis and J.K. Rowling: From the White Witch to the Dark Mark argues that The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter series are essential reading for anyone committed to understanding the cultural constructions of evil in twentieth-century Europe, and the strategies of resistance available to different types of readers in response to those evils. This book also suggests that while the construction of evil in both series can and should be approached through a secular lens, it cannot be fully understood without a complementary understanding of religious transcendence. Sarah Fiona Winters explores the tension between theological evil on the one hand, and nat...
