Reviews

"Mahan's aim to persuade Christians of the contribution contemporary imaginative writing can make to theological discourse is an entirely laudable one."
Robert Rhys, The Glass, Number 23, Spring 2011

'An Unexpected Light comes highly commended by prominent scholars in the literature and theology field. [...] we have cause to celebrate the remarkable explicatory gifts on display here, and to thank the author for inspiring us to discover or to appreciate anew three poets of rare significance.'
Robert Rhys, The Glass, Number 23, Spring 2011
