The Tate Bible

Arthur Bradley

The New Atheist Novel is the first study of a major new genre of contemporary fiction. It examines how Richard Dawkins's so-called 'New Atheism' movement has caught the imagination of four eminent modern novelists: Ian McEwan, Martin Amis, Salman Rushdie and Philip Pullman. For McEwan and his contemporaries, the contemporary novel represents a new front in the ideological war against religion, religious fundamentalism and, after 9/11, religious terror: the novel apparently stands for everything - freedom, individuality, rationality and even a secular experience of the transcendental - that religion seeks to overthrow. In this book, Bradley and Tate offer a genealogy of the New Atheist Novel: where it comes from, what needs it serves and, most importantly, where it may go in the future. What is it? How does it dramatise the war between belief and non-belief? To what extent does it represent a genuine ideological alternative to the religious imaginary or does it merely repeat it in secularised form? This fascinating study offers an incisive critique of this contemporary testament of literary belief and unbelief.

Literature and the Bible

Have you ever thought that life is difficult? How hard it can be sometimes to get up in the morning and do everything you have to do? Do you ever wake up feeling tired and stressed all the time? Do you feel like life has passed you by? Of course, I understand! You have a lot of work to do. You may have a debt. Maybe you are tired of shopping and have a stomach ache. Now think about a real warrior. Think of a person sleeping on the street, not knowing whether he will die or not. Then they wake up, don't have time to shower or eat a good meal, and they jump straight up. They ignore their injuries, take lives and see their friends and brothers shot in front of them... Crazy enough? This book is for you, if you ever mattered to yourself the way you expect others to respect you and your shit. "Quit reading the description already and get up to change your life with this simple book as your growth bible." - Andrew Tate

Contemporary Fiction and Christianity

One of the key ingredients that keep many from having rewarding relationships is unforgiveness. How many of us have been hurt by someone that you love, and can't seem to get over it? The sad part about that is, the person that has done you wrong has gone on with their lives, but because you haven't dealt with it, you are stuck and can't go forward. Every time you see that person or even hear their name, it makes you re-live that experience all over again. Of course it's easier said than done, but you can get over it. Author Andrew Tate III deals with the complexities of forgiveness. Tamkea Sanders, who is an accounting executive, puts aside her goals to become a partner in her firm, to help her husband, Ezekiel, obtain his to be a comedian. Once he became famous, the betrayal began. She dealt with the unfaithfulness for years until she found out that 'Zeke had another woman pregnant. She started drinking heavily and became addicted to prescription drugs to stop the pain. Her best friend Savannah introduced her to a women's support group called, "Empowered Sisters," and this began the road to recovery and forgiveness.

Tateism is an historic philosophy based on the ideas of Tate, an approach to life that seeks to live in balance and harmony with oneself, human society, and the natural world. An anthology of wise sayings, it offers a practical model by which the individual can live an extraordaniry life by working on the self rather than explaining the human place in the universe. The moral code it encourages is based on the idea of continuous progress and the rewards reaped for such a life are an abundance in all realm of human experience. One of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a series of wise and practical aphorisms that have been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and ordinary readers.

This collection of essays considers the return of the religious in contemporary literary studies. In the twenty-first century it is now possible to detect a new sacred 'turn' in thought and writing. For some writers, this post-secular identity plays itself out in both a recuperation of religious traditions (Catholicism, Puritanism, Judaism) and a re-invention of the religious imaginary (apophaticism, messianism, apocalypticism, fundamentalism). In literary studies, the implications of the post-secular are revitalizing critical engagement with canonical works and fuelling the reclaiming of neglected writings as questions of the construction of spiritual identities come once again to the fore.

Literature and the Post-secular Imagination

Spiritual Identities

Visions of post-apocalyptic worlds have proved to be irresistible for many 21st-century writers, from literary novelists to fantasy and young adult writers. Exploring a wide range of texts, from the works of Margaret Atwood, Cormac McCarthy, Tom Perrotta and Emily St. John Mandel to young adult novels such as Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games series, this is the first critical introduction to contemporary apocalyptic fiction. Exploring the cultural and political contexts of these writings and their echoes in popular media, Apocalyptic Fiction also examines how contemporary apocalyptic texts looks back to earlier writings by the likes of Mary Shelley, H.G. Wells and J.G. Ballard. Apocalyptic Fiction includes an annotated guide to secondary readings, making this an essential guide for students of contemporary fiction at all levels.

Apocalyptic Fiction

Literary texts are more or less obliged to make reference to entities beyond themselves. Drawing on other texts, ideas previously written, or on the resources of language, they make their attempts to communicate, entertain, and enlist sympathy, or even to offer counsel. Some texts profess an a priori vision, others adopt a style of reporting only contingencies. A dialogic relation can be posited between the ideal and the real, heaven and earth, imagination and reason, langue and parole, essence and substance, poetry and prose. The poetic and creative impulse is engaged with an ever present need to purify the dialect of the tribe. The topics in Visions and Revisions reflect writers’ labours with form at whatever distance from the original sources of inspiration. The authors discussed include William Blake, Marilynne Robinson, Salman Rushdie, William Golding, John Irving, David Lodge, Sara Maitland and Hilary Mantel. Verbal by definition, texts make use of other texts and are dependent on the cultural matrix. Readers are also writers in one kind or another. In both modes they may gain impetus or inspiration by re-visioning their origins as well as their ends. This book will offer readers new ways to understand the literary creations of some writers with affinities to the Western spiritual, and specifically Christian, tradition.

The Word and the Text

Visions and Revisions

This book is the first full-length study of Douglas Coupland, one of the twenty-first century’s most innovative and influential novelists. The study explores the prolific first decade and a half of Coupland’s career, from Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture (1991) to JPod (2006), a period in which he published ten novels and four significant volumes of non-fiction. Emerging in the last decade of the twentieth century - amidst the absurd contradictions of instantaneous global communication and acute poverty - Coupland’s novels, short stories, essays and visual art have intervened in specifically contemporary debates regarding authenticity, artifice and art. This book explores Coupland’s response, in ground-breaking novels such as Microserfs, Girlfriend in a Coma and Miss Wyoming, to some of the most pressing issues of our times. Designed for students, researchers and general readers alike, the study is structured around thematically focused chapters that consider Coupland’s engagement with narrative, consumer culture, space, religion and ideas of the future.
