The influence of Coleridge on Newman has often been cited, but it has also been disputed. Newman himself sometimes denied it or simply expressed his surprise at the ‘coincidences’. In this article I focus on different aspects of Newman’s thought where such influence is apparent: the idea of a ‘sacramental system’, the Church of England as a via media, the theory of development in dogma, and the self. Newman’s mixed feelings about Coleridge are also analysed and an explanation for these is provided.

José María Arguedas’ Peruvian short story ‘Warma Kuyay (Amor de niño)’ culminates with the punishment of a calf, as a result of the white landlord’s sexual violation of Justina, an indigenous woman. This article argues that that theoretical discussions in ecotheology offer fruitful tools for analysing the story, resonating with Andean cosmologies and enabling us to think more seriously about Arguedas’ intersectional theological thoughts. ‘Warma Kuyay’ prefaces theological ecocriticism, foreseeing current developments in liberation theology which do not just emphasise class, but other categories of identity.
jos María Arguedas的秘鲁短篇小说《Warma Kuyay (Amor de niño)》以对一头小牛的惩罚为高潮，这是白人房东对土著妇女Justina进行性侵犯的结果。本文认为，生态学的理论讨论为分析故事提供了富有成效的工具，与安第斯宇宙论产生共鸣，使我们能够更认真地思考阿古达斯的交叉神学思想。“Warma Kuyay”以神学生态批评为前言，预见了解放神学的当前发展，不仅强调阶级，而且强调其他类别的身份。

This article revisits Flannery O’Connor’s racialised Christophany in her short story, ‘The Artificial N*’, in light of contemporary tensions over Confederate monuments in America. It explores her grotesque Christ (manifest in a suburban lawn jockey) that mysteriously acts as a means of grace and effects repentance and reconciliation. It teaches us how to read this racist statuary within the grotesque history of Confederate monuments in the American South. By further situating her story and this history in the matrix of art and community, materiality and memory, her work is able to provide a damning theological critique of the current debate around monument removal, without which we may be content to absent offending sculptures but leave untouched our unreconciled communities and sinful social order.

Engaging with Graham Ward’s contention that literature can never be entirely secular, I argue that some pieces of literature can, in fact, tell us a great deal about the conceptual logic of the secular. I turn, in particular, to three poems by Blaise Cendrars—Les Pâques à New York, Prose du Transsibérien et de la petite Jeanne de France, and Le Panama ou les aventures de mes sept oncles, written during the years of 1912 and 1914, so as to reconstruct the ways in which the poems themselves are entangled in a dispute over the very possibility of a purified secular plane. That is, Cendrars’ trilogy dramatises both the attempt to write secularly and the difficulty—even impossibility—of accomplishing precisely that task. Hence, I offer a reading of the journey traversed in Cendrars’ early trilogy that focuses on the desacralising movement at work in this journey, as well as the various resistances such movement encounters. On the one hand, the three poems tend towards a becoming-secular of poetry: the Christian regime of sense in Pâques is quickly replaced by a series of ‘any-spaces-whatsoever’ where secular figures are perpetually produced. On the other hand, this secular hero-narrative ends in tragedy, such that the poetic text ends up being figured as a utopia, an impossible space that offers compensation for the impossibility of performing secularity in life.

Toni Morrison’s Beloved can be read as a decidedly theological work, particularly in its expression of redemptive communal unity through narrative re-telling. Morrison’s imagined community in Beloved moves from fragmented isolation to liberative solidarity with each other, dramatically exemplifying a postcolonial theological vision, which draws from African traditional cultures. Although often rejected by some theological interpreters as ‘pop-gnostic’, Toni Morrison’s Beloved rejects a theological worldview of coloniality and offers instead a hybridised approach to theological meaning. In dispelling the racial ‘othering’ that frequently occurs in both literature and theology, Morrison crafts a theological narrative that retells the sinful past in the hope of transcending guilt for the sake of a harmonious future. Thus, the theological insight of Beloved is found in a syncretic cosmology that does not perpetuate colonial ontological categories but forges a communal narrative that is non-possessive and open to a future free from the shackles of the past. Morrison’s Beloved equips the theologian with pertinent questions, ones that wrestle with the presence of God within a suffering and oppressed community; these are timely questions that must be posed to the Christian tradition in order to transcend the lies of white theology.

Daniel Defoe’s fictional narrators talk often about God’s providence but not usually to appeal to an overarching social or natural order, to solve problems of theodicy, or to claim special divine attention. In the Bible scene near the beginning of Defoe’s novel Journal of the Plague Year (1722), a passage of scripture opened to by chance convinces the narrator, H.F., to stay in London and protect his business during the plague. This scene primes Defoe’s readers to recognise later in the novel divine providence acting not through so much as with creaturely agents, human and nonhuman.
丹尼尔·笛福虚构的叙述者经常谈论上帝的天意，但通常不会诉诸于压倒一切的社会或自然秩序，来解决神正论的问题，或要求特别的上帝关注。在笛福的小说《瘟疫年日记》(Journal of the Plague Year, 1722)开头的圣经场景中，偶然打开的一段经文说服了叙述者h.f.在瘟疫期间留在伦敦保护他的生意。这个场景让笛福的读者认识到，在小说的后面，神的旨意并不是通过生物的媒介，人类和非人类来发挥作用的。
