"Templeton proposes that we read the New Testament not as history (true or false) - in what is still the dominant hermeneutic - but rather as 'true fiction'. What does it mean for fiction to be true? And how is the truth of fiction different from the truth of history? Underlying all of this is the problem of the relation between fact and imagination - the question of reality. Templeton offers his own answers to such questions as he reads afresh Mark, John and Paul, and the poetry of T.S. Eliot and Wallace Stevens."--Jacket.
