George MacDonald in the Age of Miracles: Incarnation, Doubt, and Reenchantment
Part of the Hansen Lectureship Series, historian Timothy Larsen examines how Victorian Scottish fantasy pioneer George MacDonald defended the miraculous against nineteenth-century scientific naturalism and religious doubt. Alongside responses from Inklings scholars, Larsen demonstrates how MacDonald's sacramental imagination and theology of the Incarnation reenchanted the world for Lewis and Tolkien.
