David C. Mahan is the President and Director of the Rivendell Institute at Yale University, where he has served as a campus minister since 1987. He received his Master's degree in religion and literature from Yale Divinity School and completed his Ph.D. in divinity at the University of Cambridge.
"Mahan's aim to persuade Christians of the contribution
contemporary imaginative writing can make to theological discourse
is an entirely laudable one."

thank the author for inspiring us to discover or to appreciate anew
three poets of rare significance.'
