Paganism and Literature (Special FEATURE‪)‬

I Christianity's encounter with other cultures is, originally and foundationally, the encounter with paganism. And it is the uniform thought of the early church, as far as we can discern it, that the literary arts belong to the pagan world from which we are being saved. That first Christian thinking of the literary and the pagan is still with us and must be thought again in each generation of Christian faith and practice.
