<p>"I wish that I had written this book. It is a study in religious naturalism that, in the end, is about the pieties and impieties entailed by the language that we use. It is the first book-length study of the relationship between Burke and Ellison and the only study that takes up questions of religious naturalism in their work."<b>--William Hart, University of North Carolina, Greensboro</b></p><p>"This is a rich, interesting, and lucidly argued study of the relations between Kenneth Burke and Ralph Ellison that draws out some of the significance of their relationship for reconceptualizing a de-theologized religious position. The author substantiates her claims with vigor and writes about her two authors with a very beguiling directness and clarity."<b>--Giles Gunn, University of California, Santa Barbara</b></p>
