Books by Giles Gunn

Introduces students to the ways that the world has been woven into a system of interrelated, but far from completely integrated, processes, interactions, and transformations since long before the beginning of the Common Era. The readings reflect patterns of transmission, dispersion, and exchange that reveal how the world has operated.

In a unique and probing analysis, this study examines the function of literary criticism in religious studies and explores the relation of literature to religion in the works of major American writers.
