In this theological and literary investigation, Jeffrey Barbeau explores the influence of nineteenth century Romanticism on C. S. Lewis's writing in three essays. Drawing on extensive reading of the marginalia Lewis's personal library, Barbeau offers a fresh understanding of modern theology, Romantic poetry, and Lewis's most beloved works.
Humans are created in the image of God, yet by choosing to rebel against God we become unfaithful bearers of his image. But Jesus, who is the image of God, restores the divine image in us. At the intersection of theology and culture, these essays offer a unified vision of what it means to be truly human and created in the divine image in the world today.

The practical and theological development of eighteenth-century Methodism.
This book examines the development of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s intellectual legacy in Britain and America from 1834 to 1934 by focusing on his late role as the Sage of Highgate and his programme of educating young minds who were destined for the higher professions (particularly preaching and teaching). Chapters assess his pedagogy and his late publications, his posthumous reputation, and his influence on aesthetics, theology, philosophy, politics and social reform. The book discusses a wide range of British and American intellectuals, including Thomas and Matthew Arnold, F. D. Maurice, John Stuart Mill, Henry Sidgwick, Shadworth Hodgson, T. H. Green, James Marsh, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Horace Bushnell, William James and John Dewey. It demonstrates how Coleridgean ideas were developed and distorted into something he would never have recognized as his own and emphasizes his significance as a catalyst who played a vital role in shaping the intellectual vocation of the long nineteenth century.
The first complete English translation of Dirck Coornhert's 1630 Synod on the Freedom of Conscience, one of the most elaborate and powerful pleas for religious tolerance published in early modern Europe.
On October 4, 1807, Thomas Jefferson was handed documents written entirely in Arabic, penned by two African Muslims fleeing captivity in rural Kentucky. Jefferson's Muslim Fugitives recounts the untold story of escaped West African slaves in the American heartland whose Arabic writings reached a sitting U.S. President, prompting him to intervene on their behalf. Revealing Jefferson's lifelong entanglements with slavery and Islam, Jeffrey Einboden uncovers the lost Muslim manuscripts which circulated among Jefferson and his prominent peers, while questioning why such vital legacies from the American past have been entirely forgotten.
