While many feel that something must be done, few perceive the state of the ecological crisis as a "profound religious problem." While Thomas Berry sought to fire the imagination and motivate his listener to action, Bernard Lonergan was absorbed by the growing gulf between traditional Christian theology and its relevance to modern problems. This book brings together the work of these dynamic thinkers and examines their mutual contribution to theology for our time and for our planet

Harold Fisch explores the biblical influence on the style and structure of landmark works by Fielding, Defoe, George Eliot, Kafka, Dostoevsky and others. Kafkas's The Trial has been termed a 'midrash' on the book of Job (Northrop Frye). But Fisch concludes that it is also a debate with Job. Whilst the great novelists could not manage without the Bible, at the same time 'it would not do'. The book concludes with two groundbreaking chapters on the Israeli novelists S.Y. Agnon and A.B. Yehoshua.
